L'une des histoires d'amour les plus médiatiques du XXe siècle tiendrait-elle du mensonge ? Cette enquête mondaine sur la vie privée du duc et de la duchesse de Windsor nous révèle le scandale des scandales.Décembre 1936. Le prince Edward VIII, dans un geste " d'amour fou ", renonce à son trône et abandonne l'empire britannique pour une Américaine doublement divorcée, Wallis Simpson. Ce coup d'éclat transforme les amants déchus en couple iconique du xxe siècle. Admirés. Intouchables. Mais, contre toute attente, Wallis Simpson s'entiche ensuite d'un jeune playboy homosexuel et richissime, avec qui elle partage de longues nuits aux quatre coins du globe.
Blond et charismatique, Jimmy Donahue sait tout faire : piloter un avion, parler plusieurs langues, danser et jouer du piano. Doté de charme et d'esprit, adoré de tous, le petit-fils du milliardaire Frank W. Woolworth profite de sa position sociale et de sa fortune pour multiplier les frasques. Ses conquêtes sont exclusivement masculines jusqu'à sa rencontre, en 1950, avec le duc et la duchesse de Windsor. En dépit de leur différence d'âge, l'attirance physique entre Wallis et Jimmy est immédiate. Ils vont former, avec Edward, un trio inséparable, devenant les meilleurs amis du monde...
Voici l'histoire scandaleuse d'un trio amoureux dont personne n'est sorti indemne. Une enquête inédite et méticuleuse menée par l'incomparable Christopher Wilson, qui ose lever le voile sur les désirs coupables d'un couple mythique.
Avant, il y avait deux Windsor ; désormais, ils étaient trois. Jimmy était avec le duc et la duchesse à New York, à Palm Beach, à Paris - toujours à rire, maniéré, pétillant. Jimmy avec ses blagues, Jimmy avec son argent, Jimmy avec ses histoires et ses grossièretés - Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy...

Striking the right fit between resources, processes, and outcomes in complex environments, where different groups have something to contribute towards joint outcomes, even though they partake in joint operations in the pursuit of their own objectives This is what intelligent governance is all about. It is the practical application of an evolving worldview that is a less conflictive, more intelligent, more cooperative and a wiser mode of human coordination. This short book proposes some guideposts for intelligent governance.
It does not put forward a rigid blueprint or a recipe that could mechanically and blindly be followed, but a prototype for a process of inquiry seeking to help organizations find a way forward (through innovation and value adding), some general indications about the most toxic pitfalls likely to materialize mental prisons, lack of mindfulness, etc. and comments about the most promising opportunities or initiatives likely to nudge the coordinating inquiries into successful directions.Striking the right fit between resources, processes, and outcomes in complex environments, where different groups have something to contribute towards joint outcomes, even though they partake in joint operations in the pursuit of their own objectives This is what intelligent governance is all about.
