Erik Larson gives a different take on historical recollection -- narrative based non-fiction.

Based on many meeting notes, letters, and primary sources, Larson reconstructs the time of the London Blitz. An amazing ride of the in war mentality of the British. As someone who has been reading and listening to a lot of history on WW2 this is a fantastic addition. Reads like a fun suspense book.

The coverage of the book is from when Winston Churchill is promoted to prime minister until when America joins the war, which covers an amazing level of detail.
