Larson’s profile subjects include Churchill’s 17-year-old daughter, Mary his private secretary, John “Jock” Colville, who kept a meticulous (and likely illegal, due to the national security secrets it revealed) diary Nazi leader Rudolf Hess and, to a lesser extent, ordinary Britons.
Larson ( Dead Wake) delivers a propulsive, character-driven account of Winston Churchill’s first year as British prime minister (May 1940–May 1941), when the German air force launched “a full-on assault against the city of London” in preparation for an invasion that never came.
