Spectacular New Perspective
One of the greatest failures of our education system is its inability to make history interesting enough that people want to learn it so that we can stop repeating it. Then, we have Erik Larson. His brilliant writing technique turns dull historical facts into a story that forces you to continue turning the pages. Truly spectacular perspective of Churchill and those closest to him during a truly dark time in history. Also, a great glimpse of the German leaders as well. I'm truly looking forward to the next book of his I've ordered... and others after that. I think this should be a guide on how to bring history to a level that people can connect with.

I reread this on The Pigeonhole, and I’m glad I did. I’d only given it 2/5 the first time, and I think it was a case of reading it too quickly, and skimming over a lot of it. The Pigeonhole 10 stave format gave me the opportunity to read it properly, and I could fully appreciate how funny it was. I really enjoyed the parts where the narrator gives historical information about places on his trip along the Thames. I come from a town on the banks of the Thames, and as we know, quite often if you live in a place you know the least about it!
This is a classic for a good reason! I actually loved it 🤷🏼‍♀️
