具体描述
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.

##Very interesting to read. In another testing period of history, the British people teaches me a lesson of courage and faith.
评分##不知道为什么，全是large print，难道读者都是老年人吗？作者功课做到位，当时丘吉尔女儿和秘书日记很给力。大众日记也给力。二战总有些细节令人惊讶。

评分##作者一贯的写作方式，通过历史人物留下的笔记/记录还原出历史事件中的细节，用小说的笔法书写出来。虽然看多了之后有一定的倦怠感，但是仍然不失为一篇佳作。最让人感慨的莫过于珍珠港事件传到英国，让苦苦等待美国加入战局的英国人看到了希望。顿时让人想到重庆人民在珍珠港之后弹冠相庆的辛酸和无奈
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##跟Larson其他几本书一个路子，研究大量的史料然后把一段有趣的历史讲成故事。但或许因为Churchill的故事太过人尽皆知，不如其他几本引人入胜

评分##前几章的内容和电影至暗时刻中差不多，当然电影加工了一些。
评分##“When I look back on the perils which have been overcome, upon the great mountain waves in which the gallant ship has driven, when I remember all that has gone wrong, and remember also all that has gone right, I feel sure we have no need to fear the tempest. Let it roar, and let it rage. We shall come through” - W. Churchill
