Michael Bloch's Operation Willi
Posted by Felice Howden in Book News, Little,Brown
This week, we have been sharing chapters from Michael Bloch's six acclaimed books about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and today is the turn of Operation Willi.
In this fascinating piece of historical detective work – the result of several years’ research and the interrogation of numerous surviving witnesses – Michael Bloch has penetrated one of the great mysteries of the Second World War: the plot to bring the Duke of Windsor under German power on the eve of the Battle of Britain, a plot which the Duke himself is sometimes said to have given encouragement. A work of historical sleuthing in the classic tradition, combining powerful writing with scrupulous scholarship.
