What I’m Reading: Erik Larson

Erik Larson is the author of five national bestsellers: Dead Wake, In the Garden of Beasts, Thunderstruck, The Devil in the White City, and Isaac’s Storm, which have collectively sold more than nine million copies.

His latest book, The Splendid and the Vile, is an intimate chronicle of Winston Churchill and London during the Blitz. It 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 brought a country together.
