More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The Queen's story is our history: she was not born to be Queen but, a media star since the age of three, she has been the most famous woman in the world for all of our lives. In this definitive account, acclaimed Royal author Sarah Bradford offers a vivid window into the key moments of British and world history during the Queen's sixty-year reign, a mixture of happiness and crisis, but one defined by her extraordinary love and commitment to Britain and the Commonwealth. Drawing on a unique collection of archives and interviews, interwoven with the latest research, she gives us fascinating insights into Royal life, from wars and political scandal, to the death of Diana and the triumph of Prince William's wedding to Catherine Middleton. This is the biography the Queen deserves: remarkable, warm and, above all, inspiring.

Her Life In Our Times,

This review is from: Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Our Times (Hardcover)
I have read a few books on the life and times of our Queen. This seems to be an amalgamation of an earlier, superior biography written by Bradford. It's badly written, personal to the point it is subjective with a sting, and generally a poorly researched booked which leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. Don't buy - it's awful.

Rename this book as "Spot the errors!",
By Barry Rossiter (barry@londongraphics.co.uk) (East Grinstead, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Our Times (Hardcover)
I'm glad that I borrowed this book from my local library. If I had bought it I would want my money back as it has so many errors. These are the ones that I have seen - there must be many others. The FA Cup Final of 1952 against Newcastle was not "Matthews Final", it was the following year in 1953 against Bolton. Neil Armstrong didn't step on to the moon from Apollo 16, it was Apollo 11. Mrs Thatcher didn't say "Rejoice, just rejoice!" on the steps of No. 10 after the recapture of Port Stanley, it was the recapture of South Georgia.Ms Bradford, did you really write this book? Was the proof read by anyone?
