At the outbreak of WW2, the British monarchy was in a state of
turmoil. The previous king, Edward VIII, had abdicated the throne,
leaving his unprepared and terrified brother Bertie to become
George VI. Meanwhile, as the now-Duke of Windsor awaited the decree
that would allow him to marry his mistress Wallis Simpson, he took
an increasing interest in the expansionist plans of the Führer of
Germany. The Windsors at War tells the story of the turbulent and
seismic decade in between 1937 and 1947, including the bombing of
Buckingham Palace in May 1940, the Duke of Windsor's ill-advised
visit to Germany in October 1937 and the death of the Duke of Kent
in a plane crash in August 1942. It answers a simple question: how
did this squabbling, dysfunctional family manage to put their
differences aside and unite to help win the greatest conflict of
their lifetimes?
