Historia
Here are the devastating revelations that triggered a crisis within the Catholic Church. Here is the truth about the scores of abusive priests who preyed upon innocent children and the cabal of senior church officials who covered up their crimes. Here is the trail of "hush money" that the Catholic Church secretly paid to buy victims' silence - deeds that left millions of the faithful in the US and around the world shocked, angry, and confused.

Excellent but scary story
Revisado: 10-21-24
This is not an easy story to listen to. I'm from Boston and it's a story I was familiar with. the outrage I felt then is still the same now. it was good to hear a bit more detail not just what we all heard on the news. The story underscore deliberate hiding of the perpetrators and frankly the dismissive attitude of the church towards the victims. The worst part is that could've been avoided.

Historia
A balanced account of game changes, conflicts and ambitions. The fall from popular grace of the previously adulated brother of the heir to the British throne as a consequence of his marriage to a beautiful and dynamic Hollywood starlet of colour makes for fascinating listening in best-selling royal author Lady Colin Campbell's balanced account. Lady Colin knows her royal history and psychology, and as the first seven years of her adult life were spent in the USA, she has a foot in both the American and British camps.

Wow what a story
Revisado: 05-28-24
Though I didn't agree with everything, lady Campbell said I do believe it I believe her sources are impeccable and that she took her time and patience to research these stories. And wow, what stories I've always been a follower of the royal family and learned so many new things. All I could think of was that it was Wallis and Edward 2.0 now since the publishing of this book with the death of the queen and the birth of another child, the story is just gone crazier. I sure hope lady Campbell writes another book about the pair

Definitely a new twist on the story
Revisado: 11-08-23
I'm a huge fan of Royal biographies and after seeing the authors lecture on YouTube was really anxious to read the story. Now I've read books on Wallis the Queen Mother and others and this was the most detail oriented one the backup information the author was able to find to prove all his claims is incredible. Definitely puts the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in a new like fascinating story, I'm actually gonna relisten to it again, because it was just so much information. Excellent read

Historia
By Winston Churchill's own admission, victory in the Second World War would have been "impossible without her". Until now, however, the only existing biography of Churchill's wife, Clementine, was written by her daughter. Sonia Purnell finally gives Clementine her due with a deeply researched account that tells her life story, revealing how she was instrumental in softening FDR's initial dislike of her husband and paving the way for Britain's close relationship with America.

A rare peek inside royal life
Revisado: 07-25-22
Tina Brown does excellent job reading-her story and presenting both sides so that you could argue who was right who was wrong. She really showcases the old British guard and snobbery and they need to expand social norms and racial divide

So many sides to the story
Revisado: 07-26-20
I enjoyed this book very much it was an interesting point of view. I thought it was well researched and the performance of the narrator very good. Just when you thought you knew everything about the story after watching YouTube videos and documentaries this was a different way to look at Wallis and Edward and my conclusion after listening all the way through was that there were no winners in any of this no one would give an inch not the royal family not Edward not Wallace and in the end it really was so much sadness I believe they did have a great love healthy probably not but devoted to each other.
Everybody wanted their own way and all this if someone anyone had just given an inch much of the problems everyone’s stubbornness created could’ve been avoided. They were truly no winners at the end and history was irrevocably changed
