Description

For fans of the Netflix series The Crown, a meticulously researched historical tour de force about the name of the game ties among Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, the Duke of Windsor, and Adolf Hitler before, all over, and after World War II–now in paperback.

Andrew Morton tells the tale of the feckless Edward VIII, later Duke of Windsor, his American wife, Wallis Simpson, the extraordinary wartime Nazi plot to make him a puppet king after the invasion of Britain, and the attempted cover-up by Churchill, General Eisenhower, and King George VI of the duke’s relations with Hitler. From the alleged affair between Simpson and the German foreign minister to the discovery of top secret correspondence concerning the man dubbed “the traitor king” and the Nazi high command, this can be a saga of intrigue, betrayal, and deception suffused with a heady aroma of sex and suspicion.

For the first time, Morton reveals the entire story in the back of the cover-up of those damning letters and diagrams: the daring heist ordered by King George VI, the smooth duplicity of a Soviet spy in addition to the bitter rows and recriminations a number of the British and American diplomats, politicians, and academics. Drawing on FBI documents, exclusive pictures, and material from the German, Russian, and British royal archives, in addition to the personal correspondence of Churchill, Eisenhower, and the Windsors themselves, 17 CARNATIONS is a dazzling historical drama, full of adventure, intrigue, and startling revelations, written by a master of the genre.
