Recenzii

'Authoritative, readable, entertaining - half the length of the official Life and twice as readable - Professor Judd tells the story with a frankness and objectivity and his book ends so movingly that one needs a few moments to recover.' Brian Masters, Evening Standard 'Professor Judd's book is clear-eyed and refreshingly unsycophantic.' Sunday Express 'King George VI is dealt with sensibly and sympathetically - by Denis Judd in a very English way.' Asa Briggs, The Guardian 'An admirable and enjoyable book which has much to say.'
