Fantasy Fiction lover turned historian David Gates is back on the podcast to discuss two English history books: The White Ship by Princess Diana's brother Charles Spencer and The Splendid and the Vile by journalist Erik Larson. The White Ship is an examination of the 1120 shipwreck that threw the future of the crown into question. The Splendid and the Vile is a riveting account of Winston Churchill and his first year in office when he is trying to keep the Germans at bay and get the Americans in his back pocket. Larson uses primary source documents to construct a very readable non fiction story that reads like a thriller.
Books and Resources Discussed:
The White Ship by Charles Spencer
The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson
The Spy and the Traitor by Ben Mcintyre
A Spy Among Friends by Ben Mcintyre
Colditz: Prisoners of the Castle by Ben Mcintyre
