Good morning and Happy Memorial Day, Thinking of those who sacrificed for us in our country’s wars, as well as those whose voices were silenced in service of others. HISTORY IN THE FORM OF A NOVEL—THE BOOKS OF ERIK LARSON So many of you have spoken in glowing terms of the author Erik Larson. I have held off writing about Mr. Larsen’s books until I finished his most recent, about the Churchill family living through the London Blitz and the first year of Churchill’s tenure as Prime Minister. I finished it this week and it did not disappoint. Larson has mastered the ability of describing historical events in a way that reads like a novel. His books are page-turners with brilliant observations about the main events, but interspersed with interesting tidbits and side-notes about the time in which the events unfold.
