S5 E03 - Andrew Lownie on Edward VIII

History Rage - A podcast by Paul Bavill

This week we are joined by the Royal Historian, Literary Agent and author of “The Traitor King”, Andrew Lownie who has come on to settle several rages but mainly that EDWARD VIII WAS NOT A NAZI DUPE but an active intriguer with the Nazis. As well as to flatten the idea that he and Wallis Simpson shared this epic love story that would culminate in the sacrifice of a throne.We’ll be talking how the Duke of Windsor engaged in plots against Churchill, Chamberlain, George VI and Britain. How we can breathe a heavy sigh of relief that he didn’t get to the throne.You can learn more about Andrew’s research into Edward VIII by buying a copy of his book “The Traitor King”from the History Rage Bookshop, and you can follow him on Twitter @AndrewLownieYou can follow History Rage on Twitter @HistoryRage and let us know what you wish people would just stop believing using the Hashtag #HistoryRage.
