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, Hitler would wage a relentless bombing campaign, killing 45,000 Britons (30,000 of them Londoners) and destroying two million homes. It was up to Churchill to hold the country together and persuade President Franklin Roosevelt that Britain was a worthy ally--that she was willing to fight to the end.
##“When I look back on the perils which have been overcome, upon the great mountain waves in which the gallant ship has driven, when I remember all that has gone wrong, and remember also all that has gone right, I feel sure we have no need to fear the tempest. Let it roar, and let it rage. We shall come through” - W. Churchill
評分##好看好看好看!隻講瞭一年的曆史,但密度很大,丘吉爾身邊大到軍事計劃小到秘書的戀愛史都提到瞭。雖然很長字體很小,讀得不輕鬆,但寫得非常有畫麵感,曆史和當事人的感想穿插,有層次深度。
評分##3.5,50頁棄,送人當聖誕節禮物瞭,文風不適閤我(而且暢銷書排版的字都這麼大的嗎…?
評分##前幾章的內容和電影至暗時刻中差不多,當然電影加工瞭一些。

評分##類似紀錄片的書,通過信件等較可靠的證據,迴憶瞭丘吉爾上任首相一年來生活的點滴。反復齣現的主題包括,說服羅斯福參戰,對德國的進攻頑固抵抗,女兒Mary天真少女,兒子賭博不靠譜,美麗兒媳Pamela從失落到放棄婚姻開始外遇,好朋友當軍事部長反復提辭職,忠心耿耿的保鏢,有著參軍熱血的秘書。是位堅毅偉大有個性的首相。一星扣給有聲書,口音太重,每次讀Mary的信聲音都裝得很嗲。

評分##John Lee作為朗讀者,給這本書增添瞭不少色彩。有聲書末尾丘吉爾的演講更是加重瞭曆史感。雖然知道事件發生的來龍去脈,但是這個故事似乎著重於人物刻畫,所以更加接地氣。
