How did this squabbling, dysfunctional Family manage to put their differences aside and unite to help win the greatest conflict of their lifetimes? Alexander Larman, author of The Crown in Crisis, now chronicles the Windsor Family at war with Germany--and each other..
The Windsors at War tells the never-before-told story of World War Two in Britain and America with a fresh focus on the royal family, their conflicted relationships, and the events that rocked the international press.
But they faced a formidable, even unbeatable, adversary: his own brother.
