Windsors and War: The Tragedy of the Royal Family

In early 1937, the British monarchy was in a state of complete chaos: the previous king, Edward VIII, abdicated the throne, leaving his frightened brother Bertie to become George VI. While double agents and Nazi spies crowded the corridors of Buckingham Palace, the only person the king could trust was his Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

This book tells a previously unknown story of World War II in Britain and America, shedding new light on the royal family, their complex relationships, and events that shook the international press. How did this warring, troubled family manage to set aside their differences and unite to help secure victory in the greatest conflict of their lives? Alexander Larman, author of the book «Crisis of the Crown», now describes the lives of the Windsors as they fight against Germany — and each other.
