"Deeply researched, valuable."-The New York Times Book Review
"A shocker . . . stunning . . . absolutely hypnotic. . . . A world of beautiful houses, ceaseless travel, trendsetting fashion, and powerful figures. . . . Fascinating revelations."
-Cosmopolitan
Wallis, the Duchess of Windsor, was one of the most famous women in history, the American divorc e who captured the King of England, Edward VIII, and cost him his throne. Until Charles Higham's 1.3 million-copy bestseller, much of her life was a glamorous mystery. Now, fifteen years later, major new documentary evidence, classified at the time, makes for a book far more sensational than the original bestseller. Drawing from long-suppressed archives in France, England, and the United States, Higham has uncovered the duchess's passionate affair with a top-ranking political figure, the duke's romantic involvement with a male equerry, the secret radio broadcasts the couple made to Hitler, and the blackmail plot in Paris that almost brought them-and the British royal family-to ruin. This updated new edition of The Duchess of Windsor is essential reading.
"Higham's best. . . . Serious, deliciously fresh . . . documented by newly opened secret government files in the U.S. and England."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Smooth and entertaining."
-The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)
"An excellent biography . . . alert to every nuance."
