On December 10, 1936, King Edward VIII signed his abdication and, with a single stroke of the pen, ended his short reign. It lasted only ten months and ended in scandal and enormous international drama. Addressing his subjects, Edward declared that he could not fulfill his duties as monarch without the woman he loved—the infamous and twice-divorced Wallis Simpson—at his side. His actions outraged the British establishment and sparked much debate at a most controversial and complex political moment, when the threat of Nazism and the looming war seemed inevitable.

Based on previously unpublished archival materials, historian and journalist Alexander Larman brings us to that fateful moment when the king turns on the microphone and addresses the British people. The assassination attempt on the king, Wallis Simpson's divorce proceedings, the scandalous affair with Ribbentrop, the confrontation with Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin and support for Winston Churchill - for the first time, the entire story of Edward VIII and his entourage has been recreated in such detail, day by day.
