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 twelve 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." It is a story of political brinkmanship, but it's also an intimate domestic drama, set against the backdrop of Churchill's prime-ministerial country home, Chequers; his wartime retreat, Ditchley, where he and his entourage go when the moon is brightest and the bombing threat is highest; and of course 10 Downing Street in London. Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports--some released only recently--Larson provides a new lens on London's darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family: his wife, Clementine; their youngest daughter, Mary, who chafes against her parents' wartime protectiveness; their son, Randolph, and his beautiful, unhappy wife, Pamela; Pamela's illicit lover, a dashing American emissary; and the advisers in Churchill's "Secret Circle," to whom he turns in the hardest moments.

«Este libro narra la historia de una ciencia que, a pesar de haber transformado la manera en la que distinguimos los hechos de la acción, apenas ha recibido la atención del público general. Las consecuencias de esta nueva ciencia ya están impactando en facetas cruciales de nuestra vida y tienen el potencial de afectar a un número aún mayor, desde el desarrollo de nuevos fármacos hasta el control de la política económica, desde la educación y la robótica hasta el control de armas y el calentamiento global. Y todo ello por hacer una pregunta simple: ¿Por qué? Si pudiera resumir el mensaje de este libro en una frase lo más concisa posible, diría: usted es más inteligente que los datos. Los datos no comprenden las causas y los efectos; las personas, sí. Espero que la nueva ciencia de la inferencia causal nos permitirá comprender mejor cómo lo hacemos, porque no existe una forma mejor de entendernos a nosotros mismos que emulándonos». JUDEA PEARL «¿Alguna vez te has interesado por los rompecabezas y el misterio de las causas y los efectos? En este libro encontrarás respuestas que iluminarán tu camino. Además, es entretenidísimo». DANIEL KAHNEMAN (autor de Pensar rápido, pensar despacio).
