Oh wow. What an awesome book. I truly don't know how Londoners survived a year of German attacks almost every night. Air raid sirens, no water or power or phones for days on end, food shortages, no heat, bombs falling, people dying right and left and not feeling like there would ever be an end in sight. I can't begin to fathom the depths of despair of not feeling safe in your own home. And one man, an amazing man, a lion of a man, Winston Churchill, determined to show not just Germany but the world that Britain would never surrender. Larson did an excellent job of building tension, so even though we all know how the war ended, it was still engaging. This is hands down one of the best books I've read in a very long time.
