The radio address of George VI to the British in September 1939, when the Second World War began, became the highest point in the plot of the Oscar-winning film "The King Speaks!" and the result of many years of the king's work with Australian-born Lionel Log, a specialist in speech disorders, a supporter of non-trivial methods of improving speech technique. Following "The King Speaks!," A New York Times bestseller, this long-awaited book tells about what happened next, how the interaction between George VI and Lionel Log developed during the years of military trials up to the victory in 1945, and how their cooperation, deeply imbued with human warmth, created special value - the support of the British people in the most difficult period of world history. The authors of this nonfiction book, based on letters, diaries and memoirs, are Mark Logue, grandson of an Australian speech therapist and custodian of his archive, and Peter Conradi, writer and journalist for London's Sunday Times newspaper.
