This substantial work traces the life of George VI from his childhood and naval career through his unexpected accession to the throne following the abdication of his brother, Edward VIII, in 1936. Particular attention is given to his leadership during the Second World War, his close relationship with Winston Churchill, and the challenges faced by the British monarchy during a period of extraordinary political and social change. Drawing upon official records, private correspondence and contemporary accounts, Wheeler-Bennett provides a detailed portrait of a monarch whose courage, determination and devotion to duty earned him the admiration of the British public. An important work of twentieth-century royal biography and British history, offering valuable insight into the monarchy, wartime Britain and the reign of George VI.
