"Wonderfully readable. . . . This is popular history at its best."
--The Daily Beast King George VI and Winston Churchill were not
destined to be partners, let alone allies. Yet together--as foils,
confidants, conspirators, and comrades--the unlikely duo guided
Britain through war while inspiring renewed hope in the monarchy,
Parliament, and the nation itself. In Churchill and the King,
Kenneth Weisbrode explores the delicate fashioning of this
important, though largely overlooked, relationship. The king and
Churchill met nearly every week in private over lunch during the
war. As they worked through the many problems facing their nation
and empire, they came to realize that they had more in common than
anyone could have guessed. Despite their differences, the trust and
loyalty they eventually shared helped Britain navigate the most
trying time in its history.
