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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe King’s War\u003c\/em\u003e follows that relationship through the dangerous days of Dunkirk and the drama of D-Day to eventual victory in 1945—and beyond. Like the first book, it is written by Peter Conradi, a London \u003cem\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/em\u003e journalist, and Mark Logue (Lionel’s grandson), and again draws on exclusive material from the Logue Archive—the collection of diaries, letters, and other documents left by Lionel and his wife, Myrtle. This gripping narrative provides a fascinating portrait of two men and their respective families—the Windsors and the Logues—as they together face the greatest challenge in Britain’s history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49292864880944,"sku":"BDdcis","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49292864913712,"sku":"ZEdcis","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49292864946480,"sku":"ZMdcis","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/150470-dcis-Square.jpg?v=1732853877","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dcis","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
