'This is a story that ranks in terms of excitement with anything you could read about the Tudors, the Wars of the Roses etc. ... Superb.'--Books Monthly ... the plans and contingencies surrounding the safety of the Royal Family during the Second World War have largely been overlooked, or barely mentioned, so Andrew Stewart's illustrated book is most welcome. --The Gallopolian: Journal of the Gallipoli Association ... an impeccably researched, cogently argued and well written account. It may, indeed, only be a footnote to history, but the diligence of the author has challenged myth in the strongest way, by the marshalling of primary sources previously overlooked. --Society of Friends of the National Army Museum, Spring 2017
