I automatically pick up Erik Larsen’s book because he is a talented and entertaining nonfiction author. This one, about the bombing of London during World War II and Churchill’s actions, was not one of my favorites. It is always a good reminder of the horrific actions during this war, but I am not sure this would be categorized as the best or the most gripping of the many books on this subject. It was well-written, but I had a hard time picking it up to continue reading. This was just an okay read for me. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
