The Woman He Loved

Never in history had a love affair so stirred the imagination of so many millions of people all over the world. But then, never before had the king and emperor of the greatest empire in the world given up his throne to marry the woman he loved.

Ralph G. Martin, author of the best-selling JENNIE: THE LIFE OF LADY RANDOLPH CHURCHILL, has written the first full story of the romance of the century. It is a dual biography of the girl from Baltimore, Wallis Warfield, and the Prince Charming of the World, whose heart she had captured.

The Prince could have picked from any of the most beautiful women, but chose instead this married woman of forty, already once divorced, and the world wondered why. THE WOMAN HE LOVED provides those answers frankly and completely--answers that involve sex and politics and the all-too-human side of British royalty. It is the story of one of the most fascinating women of our time, of the making and unmaking of a king, of the high drama of abdication, and of a cast of characters ranging from Prime Minister Baldwin and the Archbishop of Canterbury to Winston Churchill and Aly Khan.

Martin's book openly discusses the difficulties of the Windsor's marriage, their much-criticized visit to Hitler's Germany, their flight from war-torn France, their part in the mystery surrounding the murder of Sir Harry Oakes in the Bahamas, their intimacy and problems with Woolworth heir Jimmy Donahue, and in a series of brilliant chapters, shows them in the second part of their lives, the center of the International Set.

Filled with new facts and never-told-before stories, THE WOMAN HE LOVED is an unauthorized biography that tells the final truth about the greatest love story of our time!
