註釋George V occupied the throne at a time when Britain was forced to endure some of the most turbulent years in its history. The focal point for a distressed nation during the most brutal conflict the world had ever seen, he tirelessly maintained his public duties at home and abroad. While his first cousins the Kaiser and Tsar Nicholas of Russia saw their empires fall, George oversaw the expanding of the British Empire to be the most powerful in the world. Researched with unique access to George V's own private diaries and letters, and illustrated with rare and intimate photographs, George examines both the public and private life of the King as he tried to be a stalwart figure for his subjects in their time of need.
