책소개
1940년 5월. 처칠이 총리로 임명된 때부터 만 1년 동안의 내용을 담고 있다. 제2차 세계대전 초기에 영국은 독일의 공습을 받고, 언제 어떻게 될지 한 치 앞도 예상할 수 없는 위태로운 상황이었다. 『폭격기의 달이 뜨면: 1940 런던 공습, 전격하는 히틀러와 처칠의 도전』은 윈스턴 처칠이 총리로 취임한 1940년 5월부터 1941년까지의 영국 안팎의 정세를 세밀하고 생동하게 풀어낸 책이다. 영국왕립공군(RAF)과 독일 루프트바페의 치열한 공방전, 폭격당한 도시, 끊이지 않는 공습 사이렌 소리와 포성의 이미지가 읽는 이를 압도한다. 희미한 달빛에도 폭탄의 표적이 될까 염려하던 영국 시민들의 ‘잊히기 쉬웠던’ 이야기들 역시 눈을 뗄 수 없게 만든다. 영국과 독일, 미국 지도자의 관점과 전략에 따라 전세가 어떻게 바뀌어 가는지를 살펴보는 것도 이 책이 선사하는 큰 재미다.
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Every time Churchill took to the airwaves it was as if he were injecting adrenaline-soaked courage directly into the British people ... Larson tells the story of how that feat was accomplished ... Fresh, fast and deeply moving.' New York Times A STARTLING, GRIPPING PORTRAIT OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE ALIVE IN BRITAIN DURING THE BLITZ, AND WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE AROUND CHURCHILL.
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, the Nazis would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons and destroying two million homes.
In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson gives a new and brilliantly cinematic account of how Britain's most iconic leader set about unifying the nation at its most vulnerable moment, and teaching 'the art of being fearless.' Drawing on once-secret intelligence reports and diaries, #1 bestselling author Larson takes readers from the shelled streets of London to Churchill's own chambers, giving a vivid vision of true leadership, when - in the face of unrelenting horror - a leader of eloquence, strategic brilliance and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together.
