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.

##“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
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##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##take me forever to march through this book

评分##只能當花邊新聞看，是作者較差一本。
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##Very interesting to read. In another testing period of history, the British people teaches me a lesson of courage and faith.
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
