Queen Elizabeth II: A brief history of the British longest reigning monarch

Queen Elizabeth II is much more than a ceremonial figurehead. She is the present queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth states and, as the longest-serving monarch in British history, she has endeavored to make her reign more modern and responsive to a changing public while conserving cherished traditions connected with the crown.
After a tranquil upbringing, Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary became a military truck driver and mechanic during World War II, married her distant cousin in 1947, and was crowned Queen in 1952 at the age of 25. Although her royal family has been rocked by its share of sorrow and scandal, she has worked relentlessly to maintain the image of the monarchy and plan for its future. On February 6, 2017, the Queen commemorated 65 years on the throne, the only British monarch to ever mark her Sapphire Jubilee.
This brief book tells the deeply human story of a woman who has altered the world in a way that no one else could.
Michael T. Edwards, a freelancer in the United Kingdom, returns with another brief and engaging depiction of one of history's most compelling personalities, Queen Elizabeth II
