The Splendid and the Vile is centered around the time period immediately before, during and after the Battle of Britain which takes place during World War II and how the English people valiantly survived nightly bombing by the Nazis from July 10th- October 31st, 1940. The Splendid and the Vile contains so many of the elements I love in nonfiction, specifically when a read significantly broadens my knowledge of the subject at hand. Well, reading ground to a halt as the world fell apart the following week and due to working in Michigan’s Public Health Lab, I’m only just now getting to this fantastic read. Needless to say, I was beyond excited to find an ARC of his latest book, The Splendid and the Vile, in my mailbox after we got home from Egypt and Jordan in late February. Larson is one of my favorite nonfiction authors.
