George VI: The Dutiful King by Philip Ziegler

verityw's review

3.0

I don't think this told me anything I didn't already know about George VI, but as it's a short guide and I've read a fair few books about this period, that's perhaps not surprising.

It is however a good primer on George VI - covering the major events of his life (albeit not in much depth) and giving an overview of the man.

Great man. Great king. What more can I say? I think this is a very informational book, however I wish that it wasn't so proper. I'd really love to know his true thoughts on his brother's abdication and some of the other things that his rule saw.
