He nonetheless rescued the British monarchy in the aftermath of the abdication crisis and cemented its prestige with his well-judged performance during World War II and the Blitz. In this acclaimed biography, Denis Judd tells the story of Prince Bertie's transformation into King George VI including his struggle with a crippling shyness and sense of inadequacy, exacerbated by the stammer which was the focus of the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech. His marriage to the self-assured and supportive Elizabeth Bowes-Lyons and his unexpected accession to the throne in 1936 changed the direction of the young prince's life for good. Once on the throne, it was he who bore the weighty responsibility for restoring the nation's confidence in their monarchy following his elder brother's abdication, and for maintaining morale during the darkest days of World War II, when, together with Winston Churchill, his dignified presence functioned as a beacon of reassurance to civilians and military alike. Denis Judd provides a fascinating, if sometimes controversial, reassessment of the man who, quite unexpectedly, came to occupy an extraordinary position in a time of unprecedented change."--Bloomsbury publishing. 606 $aBiography: historical, political & military$2BIC 607 $aGreat Britain$xKings and rulers$vBiography 615 7$aBiography: historical, political & military. 676 $a941.084092 676 $aB 700 $aJudd$b Denis$f1938-$0173847 701 $aJudd$b Denis$f1938-$0173847 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463183203321 996 $aGeorge VI$92127204 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00861nam0-2200289 --450 001 9910581600903321 005 20220713121645.0 010 $a88-8335-615-2 020 $aIT$b2005-7105 100 $a20220713d2005----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a 001yy 200 1 $aEducazione alla cittadinanza$ecomunità e diritti$fa cura di Massimiliano Tarozzi 210 $aMilano$cGuerini e Associati$d2005 215 $a202 p.$d21 cm 225 1 $aProcessi formativi e scienze dell'educazione.
