Purple Secret, a collaborative effort by John Rohl, Martin Warren and David
Hunt, suggests that the mutated gene responsible for porphyria, generally
thought to be the cause of George III鈥檚 鈥渕adness鈥�, may still exist in present
day royalty. Backing up this theory leads the authors into a fascinating history
of hereditary disease in European royal families and a first-rate explanation of
the genetics involved. Published by Bantam Press 拢16.99, ISBN
