The Duchess of Windsor

This biography of one of the 20th century's most famous and reviled personalities sifts the decades of rumour and accusation to present a full portrait of the twice-divorced American for whom a king gave up his throne. Conducting hundreds of interviews with survivors and marshalling a huge array of documentation, including declassified papers from German military files and the Public Records Office, Greg King presents a complete and sympathetic portrait of the Duchess.
