Power and Glory is the dramatic conclusion of Alexander Larman’s ‘Windsors trilogy’.

Beginning with the fallout from the revelation of the Duke of Windsor’s wartime treachery and ending with the coronation of Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953, Alexander depicts a monarchy – and a country – struggling to cope with the aftermath of the Second World War, in an era where old certainties are replaced by the rise of a new, uncertain world where love, tragedy and modernity battle for supremacy.

This book draws on extensive unpublished correspondence between key members of the royal family, Prime Ministers Clement Attlee and Winston Churchill and previously unseen diaries and memoranda from courtiers, personal secretaries and leading politicians. 

In Conversation with Festival Director, Neela Mann.
