Larson accesses diaries, letters, public “Mass-Observation” accounts, in addition to the standard studies, to give a close picture, month by month, of Churchill, his family, and his closest colleagues. Given all that has been written about Winston Churchill and the war years, the author sought a more intimate story: what it was like for the prime minister and his circle during 19, after Dunkirk, when England stood alone facing the Nazi juggernaut. Erik Larson seems to be an industry unto himself. AFTER READING this study and skimming the end sections, I stand in awe: what one man can research, consolidate, and narrate in prose that reads like a novel.
