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

This is a WHOPPPER of a book. It's also... kind of weird so far? It doesn't read like any other biography or leadership book I've read. It contains a lot of professionally and aloofly phrased juicy "tea" (gossipy kind of information) about a bunch of upper-crust British folks from the 1940s. Everyone is posh and scared and elated and judgemental and romantically entangled: lots of passages from personal journals.
