" Churchill and the King is a slim volume . . . yet it merits a place on Churchillians' bookshelves . . . Weisbrode chooses to sketch . . . a credible account of the relationship between these two men who led Britain in World War II." - Paul Reid, The American Spectator "Wonderfully readable . . . This is popular history at its best . . . Weisbrode does a very good job of illuminating the bonds that drew two men with such different personalities together." - The Daily Beast "An organic comparison of two highly flawed and deeply sympathetic characters at the helm of England at her most perilous hour. . . .Weisbrode makes a very compelling case that each man was 'working against his own faults, on behalf of the other.' An inspired, engaging comparative portrait." - Kirkus "Historian Weisbrode shares the story of how two of the most important figures in 20th-century Britain, Churchill and King George VI, worked tirelessly to maintain British interests throughout WWII. . .

Synopsis
King George V1 and Winston Churchill were not destined to be partners, let alone allies. The reticent and cautious monarch stood in stark contrast to the exuberant, voluble, and volatile prime minister. The king had been a supporter of appeasement and Neville Chamberlain. Churchill had backed the king's brother during the abdication crisis. The war thrust them together, but their cooperation had to be earned - and the trust and loyalty they eventually shared helped Britain navigate the most trying time in its history. Kenneth Weisbrode explores the delicate fashioning of this key relationship; the king and Churchill met nearly every week privately over lunch during the war. As they worked through the many problems facing their nation and empire, they came to realize that they had more in common than meets the eye. Both had had difficult childhoods at the hands of remote parents; both as young men had found their mettle in military combat; both had made strong marriages to devoted wives; both had even overcome speech impediments so as to rouse their followers on radio and in person. Weisbrode suggests how the king's shy nature was offset by Churchill's willingness to cast himself as the nation's savior. At the same time, Churchill's complicated political past was given credibility by the king's embrace and counsel. George lent Winston, the ultimate renegade and outsider, legitimacy and insider status; the prime minister in turn gave the king public confidence and poise. Together as foils, confidants, conspirators, and comrades, the duo guided Britain through war while inspiring renewed hope in the monarchy, parliament, and the nation itself. Neither man could have done it alone. Advance Praise for Churchill and The King 'A thoughtful, deeply insightful account of two unconventional friends - the shy, stammering George V1 and the flamboyant Winston Churchill - who, after triumphing over their own personal adversities, join forces to rally their countrymen and inspire the world in the dark days of World War 11.' Lynne Olson, Author of Citizens of London , Troublesome Young Men , and Those Angry Days 'Weisbrode's excellent book of Churchill's relationship with King George V1 is very well done and will take an honored place on my Churchill shelf.' Paul Johnson, Author of Modern Times and Churchill 'One of the last unexplored relationships of World War 11 is that between Winston Churchill and the only person who could have sacked him during that conflict, King George V1. They had very different personalities and views on politics, but their country needed them to work in perfect tandem. As Kenneth Weisbrode writes, 'Somehow they made it work,' and in this well-researched and well-written book, he shows how what began as a professional necessity turned into a genuine friendship, and eventually one of the best working relationships of either man's life.' Andrew Roberts, Author of The Storm of War and Masters and Commanders 'The shy, stammering king and the loquacious, domineering prime minister were an odd couple - but they gave each other courage and confidence when England stood alone. Ken Weisbrode has written an elegant and perceptive study of friendship in power.' Evan Thomas, Author of Ike's Bluff and Sea of Thunder, For fans of "The King's Speech," the intriguing bond between monarch and prime minister and its crucial role during World War II The political and personal relationship between King George VI and Winston Churchill during World War II is one that has been largely overlooked throughout history, yet the trust and loyalty these men shared helped Britain navigate its perhaps most trying time. Despite their vast differences, the two men met weekly and found that their divergent virtues made them a powerful duo. The king s shy nature was offset by Churchill s willingness to cast himself as the nation s savior. Meanwhile, Churchill s complicated political past was given credibility by the king s embrace and counsel. Together as foils, confidants, conspirators, and comrades, the duo guided Britain through war while reinspiring hope in the monarchy, Parliament, and the nation itself. Books about these men as individuals could fill a library, but Kenneth Weisbrode s study of the unique bond between them is the first of its kind."

Item is as described in post, great quality, clean, not damaged, great purchase. I'd like to point out that it was also shipped promptly, arrived on time, but the local post office refused to send me any notification of it arriving. Therefore I only got it today, almost a month late. The seller is at no fault, they shipped it on time. So I am highly satisfied with my purchase and the seller, highly recommend them for anyone on Ebay. Great books at great prices, amazing experience.
