Description
17 Carnations: The Royals, the Nazis and the Biggest Cover-Up in History Hardcover – March 10, 2015 by Andrew Morton (Author) {Bindaredundat}  Format: epub / mobi / pdf Product Details Hardcover: 384 pages Publisher: Grand Central Publishing; First Edition edition (March 10, 2015) Language: English ISBN-10: 1455527114 ISBN-13: 978-1455527113 A meticulously researched historical tour de force about the secret ties among Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, the Duke of Windsor, and Adolf Hitler before, during, and after World War II. Andrew Morton tells the story of the feckless Edward VIII, later Duke of Windsor, his American wife, Wallis Simpson, the bizarre wartime Nazi plot to make him a puppet king after the invasion of Britain, and the attempted cover-up by Churchill, General Eisenhower, and King George VI of the duke's relations with Hitler. From the alleged affair between Simpson and the German foreign minister to the discovery of top secret correspondence about the man dubbed "the traitor king" and the Nazi high command, this is a saga of intrigue, betrayal, and deception suffused with a heady aroma of sex and suspicion. For the first time, Morton reveals the full story behind the cover-up of those damning letters and diagrams: the daring heist ordered by King George VI, the smooth duplicity of a Soviet spy as well as the bitter rows and recriminations among the British and American diplomats, politicians, and academics. Drawing on FBI documents, exclusive pictures, and material from the German, Russian, and British royal archives, as well as the personal correspondence of Churchill, Eisenhower, and the Windsors themselves, 17 CARNATIONS is a dazzling historical drama, full of adventure, intrigue, and startling revelations, written by a master of the genre.  The prince standing between Rosemary Leveson-Gower (on his left) and Diana Capel at the Duchess of Sutherland’s field hospital in Calais, France, in 1917. His parents vetoed his decision to marry Lady Leveson-Gower, Queen Mary arguing that there was a touch of madness in her mother’s family. Editorial Reviews "Morton offers a nuanced, intimate, and psychologically incisive understanding of a troubling royal, and arguably, his even more troubling wife. Sorting through myths and conspiracy theories with great skill, he explores their relationship to Hitler and the Nazis. Morton is fearless in his observations and convincing in his conclusions. He vividly illuminates a dark corner of royal history, exposing events which Churchill, Eisenhower, and others tried to conceal."—Jonathan Petropoulos, author of Royals and the Reich: The Princes von Hessen in Nazi Germany.
