Dust Jacket Reads: Never in history had a love affair so stirred the imagination of so many millions of people all over the world. But then, never before had the king and emporer of the greatest empire in the world given up his throne to marry the woman he loved. Ralph G. Martin, author of the bestselling "Jennie": The Life of Lady Randolph Churchill", has written the first full story of the romance of the century. It is a dual biography of the girl from Baltimore, Wallis Warfield, and the Prince Charming of the World, whose heart she had captured. The Prince could have picked from any of the most beautiful women, but chose instead this married woman of forty, already once divorced, and the world wondered why. "The Woman He Loved" provides the answers frankly and completely-answers that involve sense and politics and the all-too-human side of Brisish royalty. It is the story of one of the most fascinating women of our time, of the making and unmaking of a king, of the high drama of abdication, and of a cast of characters ranging from Prime Minister Baldwin and the Archbishop of Canterbury to Winston Churchill and Aly Khan. Martin's book openly discusses the difficulties of the Windsor's marriage, their much-critized visit to Hitler's Germany, their flight from war-torn France, their part in the mystery surrounding the murder of Sir Harry Oakes in the Bahamas, their intimacy and problems with Woolworth her Jimmy Donahue, and in a series of brilliant chapters, show them in the second part of their lives, the center of the International Set. Filled with new facts and never told-before stories, "The Woman He loved" is an unauthorized biography that tells the final truth about the greatest love story of our time.
