Description

George VI: A Reluctant King George VI is part of the Penguin Monarchs series, offering a concise and expert account of England's rulers. Written by Philip Ziegler, one of Britain's most celebrated biographers, this book tells the story of a king who dedicated himself to duty rather than desire. Throughout his life, George VI struggled with his public image, battling a crippling stammer and avoiding public appearances whenever possible. Despite these challenges, he accepted his role as figurehead during the Second World War, leading the nation through its greatest trial. This book provides a touching and sometimes humorous portrayal of this reluctant public figure and the private man behind him. Philip Ziegler is a renowned biographer with a long list of published works, including authorised biographies of Mountbatten, Harold Wilson, and Edward Heath.
