Description
George VI: The Dutiful King George VI reigned through some of the most turbulent times in British history, from the turmoil of European politics leading up to the Second World War to the austerity and social transformation of the post-war period. Despite being unprepared for kingship, he proved to be a great leader, overcoming personal challenges such as a lifelong stammer to serve his country. Sarah Bradford's biography offers a sympathetic and thorough portrayal of George VI, exploring the complexities of his life and reign. By examining the circumstances of his accession and the challenges he faced, Bradford sheds new light on a monarch who was often overshadowed by his brother, the late King Edward VIII. Through her meticulous research and engaging writing style, Bradford brings George VI to life, revealing a man who, despite his limitations, died a great king.
