Join us Online! December's Middletown Book for Discussion: The Splendid and the Vile


The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Tuesday, December 1.  Our title is Erik Larson's The Splendid and the Vile.  Here is a brief summary of this biography of Winston Churchill:

"In The Splendid and the Vile, Erik Larson shows, in cinematic detail, how Winston Churchill taught the British people "the art of being fearless."  The Splendid and the Vile takes readers out of today's political dysfunction and back to a time of true leadership, when-in the face of unrelenting horror-Churchill's eloquence, courage, and perseverance bound a country, and a family, together."  

Here is where you can find the book:
  • There are several copies available through MiamiOhioLINK, and SearchOhio  .  We are back in the library and have both OhioLINK deliveries and statewide delivery from Search Ohio's public libraries running.   We do have our curbside pickup operating as well as in-house pickup.
  • Amazon has the paperback, Kindle, and audiobook available.
Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  On October 27th, the members of the group also shared these titles to add to your reading/viewing lists:
