| Summary, Etc. |
The essential new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the centenary of her birth ... Elizabeth II was not born to reign. Like that other great queen in modern history, Victoria, the throne came to her by indirect means. Yet she would become one of the most beloved monarchs in history, surpassing almost every entry in the royal record book. ... Her coronation was a moment of national rejuvenation and global excitement, though it was swiftly followed by the first of many challenges and crises--personal, political, and global--which would test her over seven decades. The highs and lows of ordinary family life, for her, would be relentlessly magnified through the unforgiving lens of an insatiable media. Yet she also managed to keep us intrigued--at times, amazed--as she remained this endlessly fascinating enigma to the end, revered and mourned by much of the planet.
