Tina’s Reviews > The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz > Status Update

- [ ] Radar came to be when trying to create a death ray!
- [ ] Didn’t realize that the Brits and Americans view floors differently (their second is our third)

Interesting how Churchill chose people for not only their skill set but because of what emotional needs to could fulfill for him
Does Trump remind anyone else of Göring?
- [ ] Kennedy’s observation that when Americans see British cities with the same names bombed then they will want war is great - and accurate

- [ ] I didn’t know Churchill had a toddler that died shortly before the war 😭
- [ ] Being a typist for him sounds like a nightmare
- [ ] Clementine (his wife) is an unsung hero
- [ ] “It would be foolish to disguise the gravity of the hour. It would be still more foolish to lose heart and courage.”
