The Duke of Windsor Conspiracy: The British King Who Betrayed His Country (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781685133979)

"Once again, David Philips has produced an intriguing counter-history in a narrative that would rival the efforts of Hollywood legends." -Carolyn Korsmeyer, author of Little Follies

If you think Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are the first royal couple to alienate themselves from their family, you couldn't be more wrong.

Back in the 1930s and 1940s, the former British king, Edward VIII and his wife, Wallis Simpson, not only distanced themselves from their royal household. Edward, now styled the Duke of Windsor after his abdication, actively colluded with Britain's enemies during WWII. His treachery was so concerning to the government that he and Wallis were shipped off to the Bahamas where a reluctant Edward would become governor of the Crown colony and keep him out of harm's way.

Instead of sailing to the West Indies, however, what if Edward fled to Nazi Germany to be a willing pawn in Hitler's desire to conquer and subjugate the United Kingdom? What if the price of Edward's duplicity was to be restored to the British throne, with the former sovereign reinstalled as the Fuhrer's puppet king?

Discover what might have happened if Edward had, indeed, thrown in his lot with the Nazis to betray the very country he once ruled as its monarch.
