A historical narrative that explores the life and circumstances of King Leopold III of Belgium during the turbulent period of World War II.
Written with a blend of political insight and human interest, the book examines the king’s controversial decisions, his captivity under German occupation, and the resulting crisis that divided Belgium.
Cammaerts places Leopold’s story within the broader context of wartime Europe, offering readers both a sympathetic portrait and a critical analysis of a monarch caught between duty, personal conviction, and the harsh judgment of history.
The book is in good condition. First published in 1941, this is a fourth impression published in the same year. No dust jacket. Contains four maps. Modest fading and some very minor blemishes.
