Traitor King. The scandalous exile of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor
9.99 €
A candid biography of the most controversial and scandalous couple of the twentieth century - former King Edward VIII and divorced American Wallis Simpson. 1936. December. England. The newly crowned King Edward VIII abdicates for the sake of the woman he loves. Their relationship was accompanied by numerous scandals, which should have ended after the wedding. But, as history has shown, this is where it all began. Historian Andrew Lowney dives into archives and interviews hitherto unknown to the general public, tearing off the masks of the ducal couple: Fascist sympathies and friendship with Hitler; secret documents about an attempt to recruit the Duke as a German spy, carefully concealed by Churchill; Edward's reluctance to reveal the murder of his best friend while Windsor was governor of the Bahamas; a full-blown feud with the British crown over the couple's financial machinations and public antics; Wallis's many love affairs while married to a weak and pathetic husband. The Traitor King reveals the whole truth about the exile, flight and intrigue of the Duke of Windsor, who turned his back on his family and country for the sake of money and a sick passion for one woman.
