Churchill and The King
If you want to know more about the history of World War II, the book
Churchill and The King, written by historian Kenneth Weisbrode is
certainly worth to read.
Churchill and The King is about the wartime alliance of two complete
different but yet the same people during a severe crisis.
This book was published on March 31st. 2015 by Penguin Books, it
contained 224 pages devided in a preface and 10 chapters.
Though there are some excellent biographies of both Churchill and
King George VI, this book digged out the relationship between one of
the two most important men of World War II.
The author first talked about the history of these two noble men. He made
excellent comparisons between King George VI and Churchill. He
mentioned their education, their childhood and most of all about their
family. The two had more in common than anyone may have thought.
When the war started in 1940, Churchill replaced Chamberlain as Prime
Minister, so King George VI had to deal with him.
The book mentioned the most important British events during World War II
together with the reactions of King George VI and Churchill.
The historical events of World War II were short listed in the book, though
I learned again something new, so I'm glad I read Churchill and the King.
On this youtube link you can hear a speech from Winston Churchill
during World War II. More on next link.
