Queen of Our TImes: The Life of Queen Elizabeth II

The definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by a renowned royal biographer.

As seen on Good Morning America, CNN, and the BBC

 Shy but with a steely self-confidence; inscrutable despite ten decades in the public eye; unflappable; devout; indulgent; outwardly reserved, inwardly passionate; unsentimental; inquisitive; young at heart.

Even with her recent passing at age ninety-six, she remains a twenty-first-century global phenomenon commanding unrivaled respect and affection. Sealed off during the most excellent peacetime emergency of modern times, she has stuck to her own maxim: "I have to be seen to be believed."

Robert Hardman, one of Britain's most acclaimed royal biographers, now covers the full story of one of the undisputed greats in a thousand years of monarchy. Hardman distills Elizabeth's complex life into a must-read study of dynastic survival and renewal. It is a portrait of a world leader who remains as intriguing today as the day she came to the Throne at age twenty-five.

With peerless access to members of the Royal Family, staff, friends, and royal records, Queen of Our Times brings fresh insights and scholarship to the modern royal story. There will be no more thorough, readable, or original book on Elizabeth II as we celebrate life and reign that will surely never be equaled.
