| Summary |
A biography of Queen Elizabeth II's husband, and father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of the next three kings of England. From his early childhood in Paris among aristocrats and his mother's battle with schizophrenia to his distinctive military service during World War II and marriage to Elizabeth in 1947, Philip's life is chronicled and reveals his many faces--as a father, a philanthropist, a philanderer, and a statesman. -- Adapted from Amazon.com |
