The Speedicut Memoirs: The Unimportance of Being Ernest (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781728395142)

In Book 4 of The Speedicut Memoirs, Charles Speedicut finds his fortunes (and misfortunes) tied up with those of the future King Edward VIII, Mr & Mrs Ernest Simpson and Adolf Hitler. In the course of his narrative, Speedicut relates how he was responsible for the murderous Night of the Long Knives, when Hitler ruthlessly purged the Sturmabteilung. He also provides previously unpublished details of his intimate involvement in the events leading to the Abdication, his activities to subvert the British Government's policy of 'appeasement', his part in the Duke & Duchess of Windsor's infamous tour of Germany in 1937 and his disruptive (and usually secret) role in many other events of the period. "The history of the twentieth century might have been very different - possibly better but probably worse - without the activities of Major Charles Speedicut." Sir Winston Churchill "I bitterly regret the day that Wallis met that shit, Speedicut." Ernest Simpson
