Historian Tracy Borman paints the portrait of England’s most famous king and the enablers, the fools, the teachers and the men at arms who knew him best and shaped his outlook on the world. Henry VIII was taught by some of the most famous scholars of his time and developed a reflective and intelligent manner we seldom hear about. As Chief Curator of Britain’s Historic Royal Palaces, Tracey shows us the places where Henry and those who were closest to him lived.

In the days and weeks after June 6, 1944 Allied soldiers pour into France via the beaches of Normandy. But after the surprise of the D-Day landings and the initial advances, Nazi forces fall back to dig in to keep an unrelenting grip on naval bases, citadels and fortresses of occupied Europe, planning to drive the Allies back into the North Atlantic and reassert German domination. It will take eleven months of hard fighting and desperate battles to break the Nazi stranglehold to free the rest of Europe. D-Day was a battle, the Allies still need to win the War. These are the stories of desperate battles waged on the edge of defeat, not just for victory but for survival.
