Summary

Using previously unpublished and rare archival material, and new interviews with those who knew Edward and Wallis, 'The Crown in Crisis' is the conclusive exploration of how an unthinkable and unprecedented event tore the country apart, as its monarch prized his personal happiness above all else. This seismic event has been written about before but never with the ticking-clock suspense and pace of the thriller that it undoubtedly was for all of its participants. Painstakingly researched, incisively written and entirely fresh in its approach, the book will bring the events of that time to thrilling life, and in the process appeal to an entirely new audience
