El rey al desnudo : historia de un fraude

What lies behind the legal, economic, and passionate saga whose main protagonist has been King Juan Carlos I, now emeritus? What lies behind the war between the former Head of State and his ex-lover Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn over the $100 million "gift" by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia? What role have the omnipresent Commissioner Villarejo and other secondary, but equally intriguing, figures played in this story? Who fears seeing emeritus King Juan Carlos I stripped of all his trappings? With his characteristic incisive wit, investigative journalist Ernesto Ekaizer recreates in *The Naked King* the main episodes of the downfall of Juan Carlos I, one of the longest-reigning and most popular kings in Spanish history. Based on the analysis of reliable documents, this account of abuse of power and impunity details how the king squandered his prestige in a series of sordid episodes that have jeopardized the stability of the Spanish monarchy. With this work, readers and historians now have the definitive reference book on the subject.
