Power and Place by Simon Heffer

How King Edward Saved the Monarchy and made Britain the Democracy it is today. This book is a description of the way in which a man, born to be head of state in what he and his contemporaries defined as a constitutional monarchy, perceived and discharged his political duties. Above all it seeks to discover what results King Edward had on politics of the time and on the future of the British constitution.
Simon Heffer was born in 1960 and educated at King Edward VI School, Chelmsford, and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he read English. He is now a political columnist with the Daily Mail and has previously been political editor of The Spectator and deputy editor of the Daily Telegraph.
