Description

The Duke and Duchess of Windsor's story is one of scandal and intrigue. Following their abdication, the couple was kept in exile, with the Duke facing accusations of being a Nazi sympathiser. This book reveals the truth behind the Duke's involvement with Germany, including his attempts to recruit as a British Petain during World War II. The author draws on extensive research into previously unused archives and Freedom of Information requests to make the case that the Duke and Duchess were not the naive dupes of the Germans, but rather actively worked against Britain in both war and peace. The book also explores the Duke's feud with the British Royal Family, which was fueled by his betrayals, including his dishonesty about his financial position at the time of the Abdication.
