Renowned English historian John Wheeler-Bennett has created a portrait of George VI of England, perhaps the most respected and beloved monarch in his country. With unrestricted access to royal archives, the author has provided a detailed biography of this extraordinary figure. A graduate of the Royal Naval College in Osborne, Prince Albert always demonstrated calm courage and tenacity throughout his career as a naval officer, Duke of York, and King of Great Britain. He learned to fly, traveled the world, and fought at Jutland during the First World War. Following Edward's abdication at age forty-one, the prince was forced to become king. He demonstrated his ability to act decisively in emergency situations, a practice he continued throughout his life. George VI became the first reigning British monarch to visit America. During the war, the king and queen bolstered Britain's morale—Londoners remember that both monarchs refused to abandon the city during the devastating bombing raids. The book contains rare photographs.
