Lonely But Not Alone: H. R. H. Wilhelmina Princess Of The Netherlands HC 1960

Description: Lonely But Not Alone: H. R. H. Wilhelmina Princess Of The Netherlands HC 1960 Vintage 1960 hardback book of "Her Royal Highness Wilhelmina Princess Of The Netherlands: Lonely But Not Alone," by McGraw-Hill with original dustjacket. Taken from the sleeves of the dust jacket: This personal story of Her Highness Princess Wilhelmina, who for fifty years was Queen of the Netherlands, has been acclaimed as one of the most inspiring and moving documents ever written by royalty. "Lonely But Not Alone" tells of Princess Wilhelmina's deep and abiding religious faith, and the effects of God's guidance in all great events of her life. Magnificently detailed and completely informal in style, the book is not primarily intended as history, but rather as the rich spiritual adventure of a great and beloved woman whose destiny - and whose faith - were to carry her through two of the most harrowing world conflicts of all times. With poignant detail, she describes her parents and her youth amid the splendor of court life in the Hague. She writes about her first years as Queen in the early days of the Twentieth Century, and of World War I and the troubled years between wars. Wilhelmina was always a Queen for her people, although the traditional formality of her life grew more and more imprisoning as the years passed, isolating her from the very people she loved and longed to know. She tells how she often cut through the wall of officialism to establish contact with a world that lay outside the court circles. In World War II Queen Wilhelmina was forced into exile, and "Lonely But Not Alone" tells the story of her frustrations and fears, living far from her people and homeland. Here are her fond recollections of Winston Churchill, and of the English Royal Family, as well as an account of her wartime visit to President and Mrs. Roosevelt in the White House, and her address to Congress. With undisguised emotion, she tells of the jubilant liberation, and of her swift return to a ravaged Netherlands, and of her subsequent reasons for turning over the reins of government to her daughter, Juliana. "Lonely But Not Alone" is above all a triumphant declaration of faith, relating not only the great tasks, but also the deep inner struggles of a devoted, humble, and extraordinary woman.
