Edward VIII (Penguin Monarchs) by Piers Brendon
'After my death,' George V said of his eldest son and heir, 'the boy will ruin himself within twelve months.' The forecast proved uncannily accurate. He was never crowned king. In choosing the woman he loved over his royal birthright, Edward shook the monarchy to its foundations. This biography traces Edward's tumultuous public and private life.
Piers Brendon is the author of over a dozen books, among them The Dark Valley: A Panorama of the 1930s and The Decline and Fall of the British Empire. Formerly Keeper of the Churchill Archives Centre, he is a Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.
