A must for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor or World War II collector. JMVintage specializes in books, magazines and ephemera related to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Book jacket reads: After years of exhaustive research, Michael Bloch, the editor of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's private love letters, uncovers the details of one of the greatest remaining mysteries of World War II. While answering the question, he also discloses the extraordinary plot conceived by Ribbentrop, the Third Reich's Foreign Minister, apparently approved by Hitler, to kidnap the Duke, with the intention of restoring him to the English throne-under German control. The suspicion has always been that the Duke gave the Nazis reason to believe that he would go along with this plan. The existence of this plot became known with the publication of captured German telegrams in 1957, but the tangled web of conspiracy has never been unraveled; the motives of the plotters and the Duke's awareness of their intentions have never become clear. Based on the Duke's own archives as well as on many other unpublished papers."
