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, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons (30,000 of them Londoners) and destroying two million homes. It was up to Churchill to hold the country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally--that she was willing to fight to the end.

评分##喜欢指点江山的可以读一下,我等贫下中农就不读了,喜马拉雅上有penguin audio
评分##能把历史写得这么好读 真心佩服了。有些章节真的幽默风趣。

评分##第一次听有声书,觉得这本太合适了——既是很平实的历史又有戏剧性,而且朗读得非常好,把丘吉尔轻微的lisping都学出来了。最后附上1941年美国参战后丘吉尔在白宫的演讲录音,也是平时看书不会有的彩蛋。至于内容,历史部分非常浅显(也因此很适合听),有趣的是丘吉尔和他身边的人的性格和日常,以及Blitz的阴影下不懈的生活,这就是标题中的 the splendid
