This sympathetic portrait starts with the death of Edward VII and George V's accession. It was a reign that saw many changes including the Union of South Africa, the First World War and the General Strike of 1926. John Buchan wrote that 'This book is not a biography of King George, but an attempt to provide a picture - and some slight interpretation - of his reign, with the Throne as the continuing thing through an epoch of unprecedented change.'.
