Another interesting-sounding WWII book.
How Churchill Brought Britain Back From the Brink
What the Nazis’ minister of propaganda resented even more than the British prime minister’s stubbornness, however, were his powers of persuasion. Every time Churchill took to the airwaves it was as if he were injecting adrenaline-soaked courage directly into the British people.
What Goebbels rightly feared — with a prescience drawn from his own use of public opinion as a weapon — was the threat that a far greater master of words and ideas would unite the West in a resolute defense against Nazi domination.
Through the remarkably skillful use of intimate diaries as well as public documents, some newly released, Larson has transformed the well-known record of 12 turbulent months, stretching from May of 1940 through May of 1941, into a book that is fresh, fast and deeply moving.
