Reviews
Is there anyone left in the English-speaking world who thinks it will be news that the lives of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor were not as wholesome as Queen Mary thought royal lives ought to be? Yes, there is: British journalist Parker, whose account focuses on the Windsors' youthful indiscretions, their ties with the Nazis, and, particularly, corruption in the Bahamas while the Duke was Governor. Nearly all this scandal is included in Charles Higham's The Duchess of Windsor ( LJ 7/88), and much of it is in Stephen Birmingham's Duchess ( LJ 6/1/81) and in books by Michael Bloch, Michael Pye, and others. Most libraries owning several of the dozen or more recent Windsor books can skip this one.
