Description
The Mountbattens: A Complex Partnership This book tells the intimate story of a unique marriage that spanned the heights of British glamour and power, yet descended into infidelity, manipulation, and disaster. At its centre were two larger-than-life figures: Dickie Mountbatten, a major figure behind his nephew's marriage to Queen Elizabeth II, and Edwina Mountbatten, a playgirl who enjoyed numerous affairs. From the battlefields of Burma to the Viceroy's House, The Mountbattens is a rich and filmic story of a powerful partnership, revealing the truth behind a carefully curated legend. The book explores the controversies surrounding Dickie's leadership, including the Dieppe Raid and Indian Partition, as well as his complicated love affair with Edwina and her relationship with Indian politician Nehru.
