The broadcast that George VI made to the nation on the outbreak of war in September 1939 - which formed the climax of the multi Oscar-winning film The King's Speech - was the product of years of hard work with Lionel Logue, his iconoclastic Australian-born speech therapist. Yet the relationship between the two men did not end there. Far from it: in the years that followed, Logue was to play an even more important role at the monarch's side. The King's War follows this relationship through the dark days of Dunkirk and the drama of D-Day to eventual victory in 1945 - and beyond. The King's War is a fascinating portrait of two men and their respective families - the Windsors and the Logues - as they together faced up to the greatest challenge in Britain's history

THE BESTSELLING BOOK THAT INSPIRED THE OSCAR AND BAFTA AWARD-WINNING FILM One man saved the British Royal Family in the first decades of the 20th century - amazingly he was an almost unknown, and certainly unqualified, speech therapist called Lionel Logue. Logue wasn't a British aristocrat or even an Englishman - he was a commoner and an Australian to boot. Nevertheless it was the outgoing, amiable Logue who single-handedly turned the famously nervous, tongue-tied, Duke of York into the man who was capable of becoming King. Had Logue not saved Bertie (as the man who was to become King George VI was always known) from his debilitating stammer, and pathological nervousness in front of a crowd or microphone, then it is almost certain that the House of Windsor would have collapsed. The King's Speech is the previously untold story of the extraordinary relationship between Logue and the haunted young man who became King George VI, drawn from Logue's unpublished personal diaries. They throw extraordinary light on the intimacy of the two men - and the vital role the King's wife, the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, played in bringing them together to save her husband's reputation and his career as King. The King's Speech is an intimate portrait of the British monarchy at a time of its greatest crisis, seen through the eyes of an Australian commoner who was proud to serve, and save, his King.
Ein Mann in Adolf Hitlers Umfeld spielte während dessen Aufstieg zur Macht eine besondere Rolle: Ernst 'Putzi' Hanfstaengl. Er lebte lange in New York, war Lebensgefährte von Djuna Barnes und ein Studienfreund von Franklin D. Roosevelt. 1921 kehrte er nach Deutschland zurück. Beeindruckt von Hitlers Auftreten wurde er Parteimitglied und stieg zum Auslandspressechef auf. Er wurde ein enger Vertrauter Hitlers, der ihn zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit zum Klavierspielen zitierte. 1937 wurde offensichtlich, dass sein Einfluss auf Hitler geschwunden war und die Parteispitze ihn kaltstellte. Er fürchtete um sein Leben und floh über die Schweiz nach England. Dort wurde er zu Kriegsbeginn interniert und später nach Kanada deportiert. Hanfstaengl nahm Kontakt zu Roosevelts Umfeld auf, der ab 1942 dessen Insider-Kenntnisse für die psychologische Kriegsführung gegen Nazi-Deutschland nutzte. Nach Kriegsende wandelte er sich vom Saulus zum Paulus und erklärte, dass es für ihn heute unvorstellbar ist, wie er Hitler je verfallen konnte. Peter Conradi widerlegt diese Aussage, indem er die Mechanismen von Ehrgeiz, Macht und Machterhalt analysiert. Darüber hinaus bietet dieses Buch einen lebendigen und sachkundigen Einblick in die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse, die den Aufstieg der Nationalsozialisten erst möglich gemacht haben.
Hitlerův pianista. Vzestup a pád Ernsta Hanfstaengla. Hitlerova důvěrníka a Rooseveltova spojence

Neuvěřitelný příběh jediné osoby, která přímo pracovala pro Hitlera a Franklina D. Roosevelta - příjemného absolventa Harvardu Ernsta Hanfstaengla, který pomáhal vytvořit stvůru nacismu a později pracoval na jejím zničení. Byl to muž, který se těšil důvěře "vůdce" i F. D. Roosevelta, muž s jedinečným celosvětovým rozhledem po katastrofických událostech počátku dvacátého století. Ernst Hanfstaengl (známý jako Putzi) byl domýšlivý Hitlerův dvorní šašek, pianista, který ho dovedl uklidňovat, a mazaný šéf Hitlerova odboru pro zahraniční tisk v období jeho vzestupu; později hrál roli v Rooseveltově nanejvýš tajném projektu, zaměřeném na propagandu proti Třetí říši. Kniha Hitlerův pianista, která odhaluje mnoho skutečností z Hitlerova osobního života a popisuje americkou psychologickou válku, vypráví příběh muže, rozpolceného svou loajalitou vůči dvěma nesmiřitelným odpůrcům.
