About this product
Product Information
Here, 75 succinct essays cover European royalty from the last king of Rome to Tsar Nicholas II. There is an enduring public interest in royalty and dictatorial rulers: this book covers all of them comprehensively. Far more than just sensational accounts, the book makes a genuine attempt to understand what drove them to their excesses. An informal, readable style produces a strong turn-page effect. In our time, when European monarchies seem little more than tourist curiosities and democracy is taken for granted, it is easy to forget how much power pre-democratic rulers could once wield. The rulers and holders of political power in this book fall into four categories: those villainized by propaganda; those with serious mental disorders; those simultaneously revered and reviled; and those who truly were the epitome of evil. Absolute Power shows how they were all carried away by their exalted status or even overwhelmed by it, while a few were driven over the edge into madness.

First class seller. Exactly as described with my purchase quickly dispatched with arrival just a couple of days later. My book was extremely well protected (with packaging that is easily recycled and used again), I may add. In the past, it's a big disappointment to receive a 'New' item from other sellers which has been somewhat thrown about in post but this certainly wasn't the case. You've set a high standard guys - fingers crossed it continues. Highly recommended seller. Many thanks.
