{"product_id":"monarch-robert-lacey-9780743236690","title":"Monarch: The Life and Reign of Elizabeth II","description":"For more than fifty years, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor -- who became Elizabeth II, Queen of England on February 6, 1952 -- has been loved and loathed, revered and feared, applauded and criticized by her people. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Comp Lacey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743236696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743236690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.50d","brand":"Robert Comp Lacey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925844459775,"sku":"9780743236690","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_de1e2baa-e1dd-47b0-9ef6-bc856d046a10.jpg?v=1681079702","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/monarch-robert-lacey-9780743236690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
