#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The author of The Devil in the White City and Dead Wake delivers an intimate chronicle of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz—an inspiring portrait of courage and leadership in a time of unprecedented crisis
 
“One of [Erik Larson’s] best books yet . . . perfectly timed for the moment.”—Time • “A bravura performance by one of America’s greatest storytellers.”—NPR 
 
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review  Time  Vogue • NPR • The Washington Post • Chicago Tribune  The Globe & Mail • Fortune • Bloomberg • New York Post • The New York Public Library • Kirkus Reviews • LibraryReads  PopMatters

On Winston Churchill’s first day as prime minister, Adolf 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. It was up to Churchill to hold his country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally—and willing to fight to the end.

In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows, in cinematic detail, how Churchill taught the British people “the art of being fearless.” It is a story of political brinkmanship, but it’s also an intimate domestic drama, set against the backdrop of Churchill’s prime-ministerial country home, Chequers; his wartime retreat, Ditchley, where he and his entourage go when the moon is brightest and the bombing threat is highest; and of course 10 Downing Street in London. Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports—some released only recently—Larson provides a new lens on London’s darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family: his wife, Clementine; their youngest daughter, Mary, who chafes against her parents’ wartime protectiveness; their son, Randolph, and his beautiful, unhappy wife, Pamela; Pamela’s illicit lover, a dashing American emissary; and the advisers in Churchill’s “Secret Circle,” to whom he turns in the hardest moments.
 
The Splendid and the Vile takes readers out of today’s political dysfunction and back to a time of true leadership, when, in the face of unrelenting horror, Churchill’s eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together.

Comfy and supportive
Love it! Very snug and supportive. I am 5‘6“ 188 pounds. I am wearing a 34H and it fits perfect. Will definitely be adding more colors to my collection. Hopefully they add the HSIA Delia collection that are similar to these, but have printed options.

Very Good strong material
I love the bra but story time, I initially got a 38DDDwhich is or was my size however I wore the 38DDD all day at work (RN) and the bra did hurt my sides like the sides were possibly too tight and digging into my ribs BUT the support was amazing and the minimizing was PERFECT I looked almost 2 cups sizes smaller in my opinion but I figured something was off so I ordered a 40DDD got those and the side digging wasn’t there but I lost a little bit of support maybe or I could have just done the straps wrong because it was a quick try on but overall I love the slimming effect and the material is soft and I truly appreciate this bra. The material is STRONG not cheaply made very beautiful over all. This is a good quality bra once I figure out the correct size . I ordered another 38G to see if I noticed a difference and a 40G to see if my cup size is wrong all together (which is what I think it is more so than the band size) I tried another brand and the 38 band was find the cup was too small in 3 different brands. Guess I’ve gained some weight but overall even with the pain for the side digging I could tell this was a GREAT bra. Just measure yourself correctly lol
