Review # 1 was written on 2009-02-17 00:00:00 Larry Morton This book took me a bit longer to read just because I had to stop often and look someone up on Wikipedia. I admit, my knowledge of WWII and British history in the 30's, 40's and 50's is lacking. However, this book was well done and interesting if you are a fan of the royal family.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-02-28 00:00:00 Diane Costa A short, well written biography of King George VI, which discusses his personality, struggles with public speaking, marriage and family life and reign. The author includes interesting details about his diplomatic role during the Second World War including his correspondence with other European monarchs. The book would be enhanced by more material about the 1939 royal tour as the king's six weeks in Canada are summarized in a single paragraph. Concludes with the tributes to the King from around the world at the time of his death in 1952.
