Description
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor's story is one of intrigue and deception. This book reveals the truth behind their years in exile, challenging the notion that they were naive dupes of the Germans. Through extensive research, it uncovers the Duke's active involvement in intrigue against Britain, both during and after World War II. The book sheds light on the German attempts to recruit the Duke as a British Petain in 1940, the efforts to suppress post-war publication of documents detailing his Nazi connections, and the reasons behind the Duke's attempts to cover up the murder of his friend Harry Oakes. It also explores the full extent of the feud between the Duke and the British Royal Family, rooted in his betrayals and dishonesty. A complex and often disturbing portrait of the Duke and Duchess, this book offers a fresh perspective on their story, one that moves beyond the myth of a doomed love affair to reveal a more nuanced and troubling reality.
