    Default Recommended book about Charles Edward former duke of Albany

    I couldn't find any good books about the guy. I became interested on the tragic story of Charles Edward after watching a documentary about him. I want to read more details about him.

    To anyone who doesnt know who he is, he was the grandson of Queen Victoria. A nice English man forcefully torn away from his home just fill the empty seat of dukedom of saxe-coburg gotha in Germany and was soon stripped off his British peerage and rights when WWI broke out He was then ostracized by the British aristocracy. He was shunned, or rather disowned by the British royals. He joined the Nazi party out of fear from property takeover from the the communists.
    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that- in chaos. The world is born from zero. The moment the world becomes one, is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes two, two becomes ten, ten becomes one hundred. Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as zero remains, one will eventually grow to one hundred again. - Big Boss

    Here is the link to the Wiki article on him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles...burg_and_Gotha but no sign of any biographies on the man who is not mentioned by our Royal family see http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-disowned.html & http://dawsr.wordpress.com/2011/06/2...to-loyal-nazi/

    Eureka - book only in German am afraid see http://www.vesteblick.de/4314/hitlers-herzog/

    Thank you for the link. I was hoping maybe there is a biography, if any, about him because I would like to learn more on what was going on his mind. Must be hard for Charles being force to have an identity he never wanted.
