Specificatii
In 1936, the British monarchy faced the greatest threats to its
survival in the modern era--the crisis of abdication and the menace
of Nazism. The fate of the country rested in the hands of George
V's sorely unequipped sons: -a stammering King George VI, terrified
that the world might discover he was unfit to rule-a dull-witted
Prince Henry, who wanted only a quiet life in the army-the
too-glamorous Prince George, the Duke of Kent--a reformed hedonist
who found new purpose in the RAF and would become the first royal
to die in a mysterious plane crash-the Duke of Windsor, formerly
King Edward VIII, deemed a Nazi-sympathizer and traitor to his own
country--a man who had given it all up for love Princes at War is a
riveting portrait of these four very different men miscast by fate,
one of whom had to save the monarchy at a moment when kings and
princes from across Europe were washing up on England's shores as
the old order was overturned. Scandal and conspiracy swirled around
the palace and its courtiers, among them dangerous cousins from
across Europe's royal families, gold-digging American socialite
Wallis Simpson, and the King's Lord Steward, upon whose estate
Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess parachuted (seemingly by coincidence)
as London burned under the Luftwaffe's tireless raids. Deborah
Cadbury draws on new research, personal accounts from the royal
archives, and other never-before-revealed sources to create a
dazzling sequel to The King's Speech and tell the true and
thrilling drama of Great Britain at war and of a staggering
transformation for its monarchy.
