“This new biography of the Duchess of Windsor is shocking.  IN Wallis, his best and most challenging biography to date, Charles Higham searches through the well-researched story of personal devotion and understandable ambition to reveal a deeply complex, brilliant and most dangerous woman who seriously threatened the security and survival of Britain during the whole period of Nazi dominance.
Higham traces the Duchess’s treacherous path from her early spying activities in China through to her energetic moves to bring about the fall of Britain to Hitler.”
