As Chief Curator of Historic Royal Palaces, she worked in some of Britain's most famous royal sites, from Hampton Court to the Tower of London, and even lived in one of them herself.

What emerges is a royal world far stranger, funnier and more surprising than we might think: of intimate love letters, phantom pregnancies, unruly pet monkeys and fatal betrayals. Venturing through haunted staircases and into private bedchambers, she finds the details that make history feel gloriously human. With her trademark warmth and incisive scholarship, Lucy explores the full splendour, scandal and sorrow of royal life. The result is a wildly engaging history of the monarchy from one of our most beloved historians.'A history of the British monarchy that only Lucy Worsley could have written.'

The author describes the American coup in capturing Remagen bridge and the ˜battles of the breakout' which followed. Thereafter he recounts stories of Nazi Werewolves; of US General George Patton's reckless and doomed dispatch of an armoured column fifty miles behind German lines to liberate his son-in-law from a prison camp; the heartbreaking liberation of Belsen concentration camp; the wonderful achievement of Ian Liddell of the Coldstream Guards, among the last VC winners of the war and surely one of the most deserving; the last big SAS operation of the war. Finally come accounts of the tortuous succession of German surrenders, and the weeks of Admiral Karl Donitz's posturing as the Third Reich's last Fuhrer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Plunder is the latest history from Max Hastings, and offers his signature narrative of conflict, blending personal experiences into the ˜big picture', highlighting deeds and personalities that will be unfamiliar to many readers.
