具体描述

On Winston Churchill's first day as prime minister, Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next twelve months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons (30,000 of them Londoners) and destroying two million homes. It was up to Churchill to hold the country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally--that she was willing to fight to the end.

##前几章的内容和电影至暗时刻中差不多,当然电影加工了一些。

##跟Larson其他几本书一个路子,研究大量的史料然后把一段有趣的历史讲成故事。但或许因为Churchill的故事太过人尽皆知,不如其他几本引人入胜

##Very interesting to read. In another testing period of history, the British people teaches me a lesson of courage and faith.

##用近乎小说的写法,叙述了1940年5月到的941年5月丘吉尔作二战期间英国首相第一年的点点滴滴:40年5月底6月初的敦刻尔克,9月开始的德国空军对伦敦和英国其他地区的轰炸,丘吉尔对罗斯福及其特派人员的“投怀送抱”但又同时要面对本国人民对他过分依赖美国的批判,还有他身边亲近人物的故事(女儿Mary,私人秘书之一的Colville-这两人的日记有被作者大量引用),以及一些普通英国民众的心酸(作者依旧是引用私人日记和一些杂志收集的读者回复)。看得出作者是用心的,也是想在众多的丘吉尔/二战研究作品中脱颖而出独树一帜。文笔并没有很特别,感觉还可以再精雕细琢一些,不过估计也就不会有那么大的受众了吧。

##John Lee作为朗读者,给这本书增添了不少色彩。有声书末尾丘吉尔的演讲更是加重了历史感。虽然知道事件发生的来龙去脉,但是这个故事似乎着重于人物刻画,所以更加接地气。

一边在轰炸,一边在跳舞,英国人那时候是真的坚韧。花了两个晚上看完,文字很平了,没太大惊喜。

##能把历史写得这么好读 真心佩服了。有些章节真的幽默风趣。

##“When I look back on the perils which have been overcome, upon the great mountain waves in which the gallant ship has driven, when I remember all that has gone wrong, and remember also all that has gone right, I feel sure we have no need to fear the tempest. Let it roar, and let it rage. We shall come through” - W. Churchill
