Event Details

This month we will discuss Erik Larson's The Splendid and the Vile. 

On Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. It was up to Churchill to hold the 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."
