Book 92 The King's Speech*** by Mark Logue and Peter Conradi

I give this one three stars for being a fascinating and unique story, but the writing is pedestrian.  This is the story of King George VI, his speech impediment and all the behind-the-scenes pain and anxiety.   In that sense, the book is remarkable in it clear how important an issue this was to the royal family, the country, and the British government.  It seems extreme to us now, but it was so different then.
