Christmas Eve, 1941. Mere days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt met at the White House. As war raged throughout the world, the two leaders delivered a powerful message of hope that still resonates today.

Bestselling author and renowned historian David McCullough relates a compelling story about the spirit of Christmas and the power of light to shine in difficult, dangerous times. Also sharing the stories behind the songs "O Little Town of Bethlehem" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas," this beautifully designed book is filled with historic photographs and uplifting messages that will bring the Christmas spirit home to your family.

In the Dark Streets Shineth also includes a DVD of David McCullough's presentation of this story at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's 2009 Christmas concert.

Review

It s an unexpected but winning combination: the Mormon Tabernacle Choir; a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, whose books have also received two National Book Awards; and a small press in Salt Lake City that publishes a dozen books each year. --Publishers Weekly

Historian McCullough, known for his biographies of Harry Truman and John Adams, has written a real gem of a book. Just days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt met at the White House on Christmas Eve, 1941. As war raged throughout the world, the two leaders delivered a powerful message. Don t let the small page count of this book fool you. Packed in its 56 pages is a message that is as meaningful today as it was 60 years ago. This book also comes with a DVD recording of McCullough s presentation of this story at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir s 2009 Christmas concert. --The Costco Connection, October 2010 --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Because our Nation again is engaged in wars in many different places on this planet.
We need the words and enlightenment of two of our inspirational leaders during that long ago war. Many of our people today have forgotten why that war was fought, what their sacrifices have preserved for generations.
Now we are fighting a war here at home in America. We are fighting for the same basic values we fought for then. Today it is not firearms alone we battle against but men and women who No longer understand that a tyrant, is always a tyrant, who will use lying words, twist the truth and lead us like lambs to the slaughter.
I truly believe, in my heart and soul, that our current President and his fellow would be dictators, they are fighting a war against us. For the words, We the People, are abhorent to them! They want the things we value destroyed, belittled and for us to accept the home of absolute obediance, slavery. If you cannot hear what they are actually telling us, we, and our children and their children will live as people for generations have lived and died. We will all face being slaughtered, tortured and our families with us.
At my age, death does not frighten me, death will come to me as to each of us. It is no respector of age, wealth not goodness or of evil. But we can choose to fight for goodness, even as we disagree with what that is, there are degrees in that future.
What will we choose? Evil tolerates no degrees, the tyrant is always right in his own view. The people that live and work daily to keep the world running, feeding and caring for all will, this I promise you is true, be nothing to dictators. For them you are nothing and only the strongest, richest and most powerful have any rights. Remember though, if they lose that strength and wealth, they will swiftly find themselves lined up with the sheep to be slaughtered in order to enrich themselves and terrorize the other sheep.
May the creator of everything guard our minds and strip away our blindness. See!
Before it is to late, what confronts us and chose wisely, let the creators light guide us.

A Shadow of the Original....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 16 August 2017

The only reason I am giving this book 2 stars is that it is incomplete. It has no pictures and is not accompanied by an audible version that would let you hear what is on the DVD. 3 years ago, I was lucky enough to purchase this little book in the hard back version for less than this ebook costs. I loved it. I bought a stack of them to give as Christmas cards to my friends. No, it is not a David McCullough book but what he said is so meaningful, even today. Plus, I loved listening to him give the talk on the DVD and the MTC singing one of my favorite hymns and songs. Today, with much excitement, I bought the e-version not realizing that it was only a shadow of the original book. With much disappointment, I returned it. It is too bad that the actual book is out of print.

Back side of book was covered in mold

This was a good book although very short. I ordered a used copy and at first it appeared to be in fair condition; however, I kept smelling a bad smell while reading the book. When I got to the end I removed book jacket and found the back of the book was covered in mold. I thought I could clean it off but it was made of a cheap material and just deteriorated when I tried to clean it. I wound up throwing the book away but the DVD was wonderful.

A Masterful Work By A Master

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 10 January 2013

I give this book and accompanying CD to my best friends during the Christmas Season. The time is 1941 and the Japanese have just struck Pear Harbor. America's might has finally answered the call to help defend England and reclaim Europe from Hitler. And now on a second front we must fight the Japanese and reclaim the Pacific from this belligerent power. We lacked the ships, planes, and manpower to even begin the process on a single front not to mention two fronts. But between December 1941 and much of 1942, Winston Churchill visited FDR in the Whitehouse. Churchill stayed for weeks at a time. And when all was said and done, the Allies had a plan which would defeat both Hitler and Tojo once and for all time.

The United States came to the aid of England when need for its support was at its greatest. A bond was formed that would not be defeated. While treking through Europe, the US took on the South Pacific. It was America's finest hour. It marked the last time that America could claim victory ever again in worldwide confrontations with the exception of our glorious victory in Iraq.

We can read this book with pride. Enjoy that accompanying music from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Hear David McCullough read from the book. And learn from where the title "In The Dark Streets Shineth" was derived. This is such a simple, and yet most meaningful work I think the Author has ever produced. And that I have ever read.

Treat yourself to a very meaningful story. And thank David McCullough for his brilliance and creativity. This is truly his gift to all the free world.
