Özet
 FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ENTITLED, 'THE MOST DEVASTATING ROYAL BIOGRAPHY EVER WRITTEN', DAILY MAIL

'Richly entertaining... impressively well-researched' Daily Mail

The Sunday Times bestselling biography of the glamorous couple behind the modern royal family, the aunt and uncle of Prince Philip.

DICKIE MOUNTBATTEN: A major figure behind his nephew Philip's marriage to Queen Elizabeth II and instrumental in the Royal Family taking the Mountbatten name, he was Supreme Allied Commander of South East Asia during World War II and the last Viceroy of India.

EDWINA MOUNTBATTEN: Once the richest woman in Britain and a playgirl who enjoyed numerous affairs, she emerged from World War II as a talented humanitarian worker loved around the­ world.

From British high society to the South of France, from the battlefields of Burma to the Viceroy's House, The Mountbattens is a rich and filmic story of a powerful partnership, revealing the truth behind a carefully curated legend.

Was Mountbatten one of the outstanding leaders of his generation, or a man over-promoted because of his royal birth, high-level connections, film-star looks and ruthless self-promotion? What is the true story behind controversies such as the Dieppe Raid and Indian Partition, the love affair between Edwina and Nehru, and Mountbatten's assassination in 1979?

Based on over 100 interviews, research from dozens of archives and new information released under Freedom of Information requests, historian Andrew Lownie sheds new light on­ this remarkable couple.

Very well read by the author himself. Very clear and precise and easy to keep up also liked that most chapters were just short of 30 mins. Just the right length to dip into a listen.

Very interestingly laid out history of the fascinating Mountbattens. Their part in history and an fantastic insight into the Establishment and the power they hold.

The author also doesn’t shy away from both Mountbattens personal and sexual lives some of which is kept secret to this day. Were they both bi-sexual? This book isn’t afraid of delving into that.

Most importantly though it’s tells the story of British history covering the wars and the partition of India and the end of the British Raj.

A brilliant insight into the Establishment and British history

I loved “Traitor King” and expected this to carry on in a similar vein. Whilst it provided a chronology of events in LL’s life and presented itself very factually, it didn’t seem to give any insights into any reasoning behind these facts. As a result it became rather cold and observational with no real connection to the MB’s. Ok but not a lot else.

Ok but rather superficial

Beautifully written and read by one of our most thoughtful historians. It doesn’t pull any punches.

A brilliant and balanced joint biography
