On Winston Churchill’s first day as prime minister, Adolf Hitler invaded Holland and Belgium. Poland and Czechoslovakia had already fallen, and the Dunkirk evacuation was just two weeks away. For the next 12 months, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons. It was up to Churchill to hold his country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally - and willing to fight to the end. In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows how Churchill taught the British people "the art of being fearless."

Great leadership in a terrifying time
Revisado: 05-10-20
The story of how Churchill inspired Britain though a time when tens of thousands died. It's an inspiring tale, well told and well narrated. It makes one long for such a leader in our current crisis. Alas!

Meet Phluttr - a diabolically addictive new social network and a villainess, heroine, enemy, and/or bestie to millions. Phluttr has ingested every fact and message ever sent to, from, and about her innumerable users. Her capabilities astound her makers - and they don't even know the tenth of it. But what's the purpose of this stunning creation? Is it a front for something even darker and more powerful than the NSA?

Best Audiobook of the Year!
Revisado: 12-26-17
I loved this book! It reminded me of the best science fiction, but it takes place NOW. Although the people and companies are fictional, they're completely believable. The principal narrator (January La Voy) was great, but having 7 or 8 other voices made it easier to follow the story. I haven't read a better audiobook this year, and maybe ever. Listen!

More audiobooks should be like this one
Revisado: 03-20-13
Great writing, wonderful narration. Having male and female narrators makes it easy to get absorbed in the material - I don't know why more audiobooks don't do that. I laughed out loud while listening to this book. I'm sure people in downtown Chicago thought, "what's that guy laughing at?" The characters were believable, and I found myself hoping they would succeed.
