What might have been?,
By
This review is from: Leader (Paperback)
A good read with a play on what might have been if Edward VIII insisted on staying on the throne with his divorcee wife, Wallis. Parliament is in turmoil as objections to Edward's remaining on the throne destabilises democracy...untill enevitably BUF leader, Oswald Mosley manages to for a stable government. When Mosley forms an alliance with Hitler it looks like the writing is on the wall for freedom in Great Britian. Senior whip of the Conservative Party and former WWI veteran, Captian James Armstrong doesn't want a bar of this new oppressive reigeme, and plots to overthrow Mosley and force Edward to abdicate to Albert (Duke of York).
It soon becomes clear that Great Britian is to follow Germany down the path of Anti-Semitisim and Armstrong needs to move fast. In a spectacular cat and mouse chase Armstrong needs to act soon, and along the way finds out who his friends truly are. Underlying all this is an International plot by the Soviets to overthrow Mosley and install a communist government... Because of the very short timeframe of a year in which this book is set, it seems a little rushed, but keeps you hanging on untill the end. |
