"The King Who Had to Go provides a dramatic and persuasive account
of an important episode in British constitutional history. Based on
an impressive range of sources, and written with flair, it makes a
compelling case for Edward VIII's inadequacy as a
monarch."--Richard Toye, Professor and Head of History, University
of Exeter [praise for 'The King Who Had to Go']

elegant and compelling book.--Piers Brendon, author of 'Edward
