Reviews
"An entertaining tale... The curious innocence of the times is delightfully evoked." -- The Spectator "An entertainingly lurid picture of Eleanor & Franklin's unconventional married life and the media hype that technicoloured the whole circus is contrasted with the stiffer protocols and personalities of royalty." -- Saga Magazine

Synopsis
Between 9th and 12th June 1939, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were the guests of Roosevelt at his country estate in Hyde Park, New York State, during what was the first ever visit by a reigning British monarch to the United States. Coming at a time when Britain desperately needed American help in the conflict that now seemed inevitable, the meeting was front page news on both sides of the Atlantic and imbued with huge political significance...In his new book Peter Conradi - who has already introduced us to the gentle, shy figure of George VI in his number-one bestseller The King's Speech - recreates the backdrop to the royal visit, analysing the political background and the media's reaction, and telling the back stories both of the King and of Roosevelt, whose colourful personal life became entwined with the visit., From the coauthor of "The King's Speech," the story behind the historic meeting betweenFDR and King George VI on the eve of World War II, a meeting that is now the subject of a major Hollywood movie, "Hyde Park on Hudson" Between June 9th and 12th1939, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were the guests of Franklin Delano Roosevelt at his country estate in Hyde Park, New York, during what was the first ever visit by a reigning British monarch to the United States. Coming at a time when Britain desperately neededU.S. help in the conflict that now seemed inevitable, the meeting was front page news on both sides of the Atlantic and imbued with huge political significance. This fascinatingbook recreates the backdrop to the royal visit, analyzing the political background and the media's reaction, and tells the back stories both of the King and of FDR, whose colorful personal life became entwined with the visit.", In June 1939, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth were the guests of Franklin D. Roosevelt at his country estate in Hyde Park, New York State. The meeting, coming at a time when Britain desperately needed American help in the looming conflict with Germany, was front-page news on both sides of the Atlantic and imbued with huge political significance. The royal visit - which culminated in the picnic the President hosted for his guests in the grounds of his home - saw the King sipping cocktails and sampling that most "democratic" of foods, the humble hot dog, to the fascination of American newspapers. In his new book, Peter Conradi recreates the backdrop to this event, analysing its political context, the media's reaction and the colourful personal life of its protagonists. The result is a lively and riveting account of a defining moment in recent world history.
