The Windsors by Piers Brendon
A revelatory account of the House of Windsor from its creation in 1917 to the present day, "The Windsors" provides at once a serious historical study and a chapter-by-chapter series of revelations. In particular, the Abdication Crisis and the part played by certain female members of the royal household are analyzed afresh.
