Description

Queen Elizabeth II has reigned longer than any Windsor, yet the future of the monarchy is by no means certain, due in no small part to weaknesses within the royal house itself.While many of its failings are well-known, still more disturbing activities have been hidden from public scrutiny. Until now. War of the Windsors exposes Lord Mountbatten's ruthless scheme to make Britain's ruling family the House of Mountbatten; the real untold story of the abdication of Edward VIII; the existence of a shadowy cabal committed to protecting the royal image; and the truth behind notorious spy Anthony Blunt's connections to the Royal Family. This book reveals the unconstitutional behaviour of the House of Windsor; the cover-up of major financial scandals connected with George VI and other kings; the routine use of euthanasia to dispatch those who inconveniently linger - and new evidence concerning the deaths of Dodi Fayed and Diana, Princess of Wales. This is a book that will inspire debate and provoke worldwide controversy.
