Greatest love story of all time? I find the story and the characters pathetic, frankly.But that is not the real story here. The truly interesting tale takes place post-war, and it seems, given today's state of affairs, that people in power never change. This book outlines the years-long attempt to cover-up questionable conduct at best and treason at worst, and the serious consideration of destroying documents that chronicle one of the darkest periods in the world's history. And all for the sake of monarchial illusion; not even for the pitiable protagonists themselves.Begs the question: is all history revisionist? ### ⭐⭐ Unappealing: Edward and the book *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2016* This book by the popular historian author tells the story of Edward VIII, the king who abdicated the British throne in 1936, and his American wife Wallis Simpson before, during, and just after WWII. Unfortunately, the telling is disorganized, tedious, repetitious, gossipy, namedropping, and vague. It’s not the author’s fault that the subject, that is, Edward, is a highly flawed character, immature to the extreme, given to perplexing behavior in times of crisis for Britain. His companion, Wallis, also seems to have a limited grasp of reality.The central concern of the author’s story is the extent to which Edward and Wallis were Nazi sympathizers, collaborators, or worse. Of course, the British royal family has extensive German roots. Nazi officials were frequently a part of Edward’s social circle. Hitler viewed Edward favorably, as someone who could further German interests. Even after WWII began, as they traveled through Spain and Portugal on their way to the Bahamas to assume the governship, they maintained contact with individuals associated with the Nazis.All of this contact was well known to intelligence agencies and was recorded. In fact, it is this record, known as the Windsor file, which garners most of the author’s attention in the last half of the book. After the War, British authorities made extensive efforts to suppress the publication of those documents, which would have reflected badly on the crown.It all seems much ado about little. Edward was more pathetic than harmful. It’s difficult to watch a person who supposedly is representative of a country act so indiscreetly. Yet, at times, the author seems more sympathetic than condemning of Edward. Such vagueness permeates the book. It’s hard to say which is most unappealing: the main character or the book itself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How the Nazi's thought out of the box and fooled some royals!! *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2018* Oh, my goodness. This is the perfect example of a royal spoiled his entire life. These two came close to destroying England and because of Churchill, the ex (thank goodness) King was not treated as he should have been and tried for treason..in my opinion of course. Very well written book, easy to understand. I thank all writers who help educate us all in the history of our world. Please take the time to read this book and find out history you didn't know. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/35351001-17-carnations-the-royals-the-nazis-and-the-biggest-cover](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/35351001-17-carnations-the-royals-the-nazis-and-the-biggest-cover) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
