520			_a"Elizabeth II stands among our greatest monarchs - and this definitive, bestselling new portrait explains why. Robert Hardman, one of the world's most respected royal writers, draws on unseen diaries and papers in the late Queen's archives, revealing interviews with her friends, staff and fellow world leaders plus years of research to explore her life. From Elizabeth's accession as a young mother of two in 1952 to the age of Covid-19, she proved an astute and determined figure, leading her family and her people through more than seventy years of unprecedented social change. She faced grave constitutional crises, family schisms and death threats, unified the Commonwealth, appointed fifteen British prime ministers, charmed statesmen and dictators, and raised the future King Charles II. 'Queen of our times# is a must-read study of dynastic survival and renewal, spanning abdication, war, romance, danger and tragedy. It is a outstanding study of a leader whose legacy lives on."-- _cTaken from back cover.
