Se dir\u00eda que sabemos todo (o casi todo) de Winston Churchill. Y, sin embargo, como en toda vida, siempre se nos escapa algo. Y es ah\u00ed, en esos resquicios dejados de lado por la historiograf\u00eda oficial o cr\u00edtica, donde entra el excepcional talento narrativo de Erik Larson. Circunscrito a un per\u00edodo muy concreto, de mayo de 1940 a mayo de 1941, el per\u00edodo m\u00e1s cruento del Blitz, este libro narra, casi como una novela, \u00abc\u00f3mo Churchill y su c\u00edrculo sobreviv\u00edan cotidianamente: los peque\u00f1os episodios que revelan c\u00f3mo se viv\u00eda de verdad bajo la tempestad de acero de Hitler. Ese fue el momento en que Churchill se convirti\u00f3 en Churchill, cuando realiz\u00f3 sus discursos m\u00e1s impresionantes y mostr\u00f3 al mundo qu\u00e9 eran el valor y el liderazgo\u00bb.
En esta obra tenemos al gran estadista, al orador y al l\u00edder que nunca parec\u00eda perder el norte, pero tambi\u00e9n al hombre que dudaba de sus propias decisiones, al arist\u00f3crata y bon vivant que echaba de menos la juventud, al sentimental y al iracundo. El poli\u00e9drico Churchill se construy\u00f3 un personaje a medida de una Historia con may\u00fascula. Larson lo cuenta rastreando los claroscuros de las min\u00fasculas. Al fin y al cabo, como dijo el propio Churchill a su secretario: \u00abSi las palabras importasen, deber\u00edamos ganar esta guerra\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
