Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reign of George Vi;, 1900-1925: A Forecast Written in the Year 1763; Republished, With Preface and Notes Like all books of its kind, The Reign of George VI. Has two sides. The author was not merely exercising the faculty of prophecy according to his lights, but was intending to influence the men of his own day by pointing out, in the actions of his puppets - George VI., the Dukes of Bedford and Suffolk, and the rest - what ought to be done and what avoided in the Year of Grace 1763. In domestic politics he was a Tory; his nightmare was the perpetuation of that battle of the kites and crows - the objectless strife of the Whig factions - which had endured for the last two genera tions. His panacea was the more active interference of the king with his ministers, and the recent doings of George III. Had much encouraged him. Like the monarch whom he would fain advise, he must have been reading Bolingbroke's Patriot King, and dream ing of the realization of its ideals. Unfortunately, the young sovereign from whom he hoped so much is not the Farmer George of reality, but a sort of more amiable Frederick the Great - a Heaven-sent general, who is also an enthusiastic patron of arts and letters. Did our author, we wonder, survive to learn the modesty of King George's military aspirations, or to hear of his interesting literary criticism as to Shakespeare's works being sad stuff - only one must not say so?

Book excerpt: In Britain the phrase ‘an heir and a spare’ refers to the imperative for members of the royal family to provide both an heir to take on their title and a spare. In this equation King George VI was ‘the spare’, the second son of King George V and Mary, and never expected to sit on the throne. King George VI, or Albert as he was known prior to his kingship, had a career in the Royal Navy and served during the First World War before King Edward VIII’s decision to abdicate his throne. Determined to restore the British Royal Family in the eyes of the people, King George VI played a pivotal role in the victory of the allied nations in the Second World War. Inside you will read about... ✓ Early Years ✓ Prince Albert in the Navy ✓ The Great War ✓ The Reign and Abdication of King Edward VIII ✓ Becoming King George VI ✓ The Second World War ✓ Post-War Years And much more! King George VI ruled long enough to oversee the tumultuous post-war years in Britain, the collapse of the British Empire and the emergence of the Commonwealth. Succeeded by his daughter Elizabeth at just 55 years old, King George VI had a deep sense of honor and duty and was completely dedicated to his turbulent role as King.

Download or read book George VI written by Denis Judd and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George VI was the man not born to be king. He nonetheless rescued the British monarchy in the aftermath of the abdication crisis and cemented its prestige with his well-judged performance during World War II and the Blitz. In this acclaimed biography, Denis Judd tells the story of Prince Bertie's transformation into King George VI including his struggle with a crippling shyness and sense of inadequacy, exacerbated by the stammer which was the focus of the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech. His marriage to the self-assured and supportive Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons and his unexpected accession to the throne in 1936 changed the direction of the young prince's life for good. Once on the throne, it was he who bore the weighty responsibility for restoring the nation's confidence in their monarchy following his elder brother's abdication, and for maintaining morale during the darkest days of World War II, when, together with Winston Churchill, his dignified presence functioned as a beacon of reassurance to civilians and military alike. Denis Judd provides a fascinating, if sometimes controversial, reassessment of the man who, quite unexpectedly, came to occupy an extraordinary position in a time of unprecedented change.
