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.

Sweet Book

DeAnn, UT - October 22, 2010

This is a sweet book. I was not around in 1941 but because of my parents I heard many stories from this era. It was very interesting to read the speeches given by the President and Winston Churchill during a very uncertain time. The pictures were a nice touch too. I read the book before putting on the DVD -- and I have to say that after watching the DVD I wanted to go back and look at the pictures again in the book. The DVD is a fun addition.
