Most Americans and Brits in the 21st century aren't aware just how grim the situation was for the Allied Forces during World War II's earliest moments. Nearly all was already lost. Well before the United States entered the conflict, only one country solitarily stood against the tyranny and military might of Nazi Germany - Great Britain. In those early days of the War Adolf Hitler saw how vulnerable England was as Germany's single source of resistance. Intending to bring the British to their knees through surrender the Nazis hammered the British Isles with all its military might through a barrage of nightly air raids over England for eight solid months better known as "The Blitz". In his book "For King and Country: The Wartime Windsors" Brad Kronen takes a detailed look at one of the most crucial moments in History when global democracy was perilously threatened most. As we all know, the Allies eventually won the war but Kronen emphasizes that England's transformation from the bombarded underdog at the start of the War to the triumphant victor at the conflict's end is nothing short of miraculous.He believes one of the biggest contributors to Britain's transformation is the role undertaken by its Royal Family from the House of Windsor.Using easy to follow language with a dramatic storytelling style, Brad Kronen takes a fascinating perspective of the Second World War that can be thoroughly enjoyed by both history buff and history novice alike.If you're a fan of the series "The Crown" or loved the film "The King's Speech", Brad Kronen's book "For King and Country: The Wartime Windsors" is a must read.
