It was the year Churchill’s legacy is built on - when his most iconic speeches were delivered, when the image of him as the indefatigable bulldog was sealed. prime minister during World War II - a period when continental Europe had already been steamrolled by Hitler, America had not yet joined the fight, and England, standing alone, withstood nine months of continuous bombing raids that would kill 44,652 of the British people. In The Splendid and the Vile, Larson turns his pen to Winston Churchill’s harrowing first year as U.K. So, despite the truncated tour, his new book, The Splendid and the Vile, has sailed up the nonfiction bestseller list, the sixth of Larson’s books to do so, including 2003’s The Devil in the White City, a true-crime masterpiece about a serial killer in Chicago amid the 1893 world’s fair that has somehow not been made into a movie yet (though Hulu is finally developing it into a series.) Larson, 66, is a master at crafting novelistic narratives out of history, making page-turners - albeit completely nonfiction ones - out of events like the sinking of the Lusitania in Dead Wake or the Galveston hurricane in Isaac’s Storm.
