In The Eye of The Storm. George V and the Great War

George V was a largely unknown entity to both his ministers and his people at the outbreak of the war in August 1914. By the war's end he had become the most visible and accessible monarch in British History. What is more, he had survived the "Crash of Thrones" which toppled his cousins, the Kaiser and the Tsar. This book exposes the real man, so often cloaked in an aura of unapproachability. An interesting book throwing light on a largely misunderstood monarch.
