Still she endures as a captivating figure in the world's most durable symbol of political authority: the British monarchy. In Monarch, a meticulously detailed portrait of Elizabeth II as both a human being and an institution, bestselling author Robert Lacey brings the queen to life as never before: as baby \"Lilibet\" learning to wave to a crowd in the Royal Mews; as a child \"ardently praying for a brother\" so as to avoid her fate; as a young woman falling in love with and marrying her cousin Philip; and as the mother-in-law of the most complicated royal of all, Princess Diana. Updated with new material to reflect the 2002 Golden Jubilee and the passing of the Queen Mum -- and featuring dozens of photographs, a family tree of the Hanoverian-Windsor-Mountbatten families, and a map that charts the location of royal castles -- Monarch is an engaging, critical, and celebratory account of Elizabeth's half-century reign that no reader of popular history should be without.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Lacey, \u003c\/b\u003e historian, journalist, and bestselling biographer, has written fifteen previous books, including the national bestsellers \u003ci\u003eMajesty; Ford: The Men and the Machine; The Kingdom: Arabia and the House of Sa'ud;\u003c\/i\u003e and most recently \u003ci\u003eThe Year 1000.\u003c\/i\u003e He lives in London\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 496\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468094587133,"sku":"9780743236690","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/dWNWSFp4UUI5V3UrWUJraEpzRDJGdz09.webp?v=1777285343","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/monarch-the-life-and-reign-of-elizabeth-ii-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
