Queen of Our Times : The Life of Queen Elizabeth II

Shy but with a steely self-confidence; inscrutable despite ten decades in the public eye; outwardly reserved, inwardly passionate; unsentimental but young at heart. All of these describe Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II. With peerless access to members of the Royal Family, staff, friends and royal records, Queen of Our Times will bring fresh insights and scholarship on the modern royal story. There will be no more thorough, more readable, more original book on the record-breaking Elizabeth II as she reaches a landmark which, surely, can never be equalled.
