Terrific review, Sharon
Thanks so much for the loving review, Sharon. someone once said of Churchill, "he mobilized the English language for war".
Fabulous review, Sharon, I need to give the audiobook edition a listen!
I loved this book as much as you did, Sharon, and your superb review captured it so well.

Brilliant review, Sharon. I’m reading The Mitford Affair (fiction) set during this time. I love this author and read many of his others, but this one I haven’t. I will be soon thanks to your well written review.
Your review is spectacular, Sharon! I did not have the benefit of audiobook, but I was mesmerized by Larson’s ability to tell with story with such depth without it being boring. I couldn’t read it fast enough. Well done, Sharon❣️

It is an incredible story, especially since we know what happens when the lives and strategies of Churchill, FDR, and Hitler converge.
