"Hidden Agenda is the result of the author's research into the intriguing Charles Eugene Bedaux, a Frenchman suspected of spying for the Germans in the First World War, and in whose house in France the Duke of Windsor married Wallis Simpson in 1937. Bedaux, through his connections with high-ranking Nazis, ensured the Duke of Windsor found a sympathetic audience for his own fascist ambitions." "After the abdication, the problem of the exiled Duke troubled the British establishment but a solution was found in engaging him to inspect French troops during the Phoney War of 1939." "Hidden Agent gives a fresh perspective on the true causes of the abdication crisis and tells the astonishing story of the ex-King who betrayed his own country and altered the course of the Second World War."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
