This is a summary, analysis, and review of The Splendid and the Vile and not the original book. With a firm grasp of the British struggle under German aggression, Larson crafts a story of epic proportions, taking the listener on a journey of novel insight and unexpected emotion. It’s not about Churchill so much as his preservation of all that Britain valued as a civilization at the height of the Second World War. This book is intended as a companion to, not a replacement for, The Splendid and the Vile.
