I enjoyed Andrew Lownie's books on the Mountbattens and Traitor King, but he represents Lady Colin Campbell, whose work I find to be riddled with factual errors. I have no idea why he had to self-publish his book in the US instead of HarperCollins publishing it as they did in the UK.
I thought Traitor King was tremendous. I wonder though if all the attention for the new book is making him push for soundbytes as opposed to sticking to journalistic standards
Possibly. I read the book recently because it's available through Kindle Unlimited. I found quite a few mistakes in the book, which made me wonder whether he checked his facts before turning in the manuscript.
