THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Every time Churchill took to the
airwaves it was as if he were injecting adrenaline-soaked courage
directly into the British people ... Larson tells the story of how
that feat was accomplished ... Fresh, fast and deeply moving.' New
York Times A STARTLING, GRIPPING PORTRAIT OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE
ALIVE IN BRITAIN DURING THE BLITZ, AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE
AROUND CHURCHILL. On Winston Churchill's first day as prime
minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and
Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was
just two weeks away. For the next twelve months, the Nazis would
wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons and
destroying two million homes. In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik
Larson gives a new and brilliantly cinematic account of how
Britain's most iconic leader set about unifying the nation at its
most vulnerable moment, and teaching 'the art of being fearless.'
Drawing on once-secret intelligence reports and diaries, #1
bestselling author Larson takes readers from the shelled streets of
London to Churchill's own chambers, giving a vivid vision of true
leadership, when - in the face of unrelenting horror - a leader of
eloquence, strategic brilliance and perseverance bound a country,
and a family, together.

New attention from historians and journalists is raising pointed
questions about the founding period: was the American revolution
waged to preserve slavery, and was the Constitution a pact with
slavery or a landmark in the antislavery movement? Leaders of the
founding who called for American liberty are scrutinized for
enslaving Black people themselves: George Washington consistently
refused to recognize the freedom of those who escaped his Mount
Vernon plantation. And we have long needed a history of the
founding that fully includes Black Americans in the Revolutionary
protests, the war, and the debates over slavery and freedom that
followed. We now have that history in Edward J. Larson’s
insightful synthesis of the founding. With slavery thriving in
Britain’s Caribbean empire and practiced in all of the American
colonies, the independence movement’s calls for liberty proved
narrow, though some Black observers and others made their full
implications clear. In the war, both sides employed strategies to
draw needed support from free and enslaved Blacks, whose responses
varied by local conditions. By the time of the Constitutional
Convention, a widening sectional divide shaped the fateful
compromises over slavery that would prove disastrous in the coming
decades. Larson’s narrative delivers poignant moments that deepen
our understanding: we witness New York’s tumultuous welcome of
Washington as liberator through the eyes of Daniel Payne, a Black
man who had escaped enslavement at Mount Vernon two years before.
Indeed, throughout Larson’s brilliant history it is the voices of
Black Americans that prove the most convincing of all on the
urgency of liberty.
