This accessible, detailed and readable biography has become the more relevant and interesting following the release of The King's Speech. Reading this book having seen the film brought the chief character, the King, his entourage, his family history, his whole reign vividly to life. Published in 1989 and now reissued, it is a breathtaking and fascinating read, with many valuable details and quotations from material only recently in the public domain. A great experience and highly recommended.
