"The years immediately before the First World War saw the last great flowering of European monarchy. Although sovereigns no longer ruled by divine right, their prestige and positions remained almost intact. Seldom have Theo Aronson's talents as chronicler of the royal houses of Europe been better employed. He has assembled here, for the first time in one book, the entire cast of embattled monarchs. His is the story of eight momentous years viewed, as it were, from the monarchial standpoint; an account of the passing, not only of their particular world, but of the entire monarchic and dynastic order of the Continent. It describes the brilliant sunset and the dramatic break-up of the Europe of the Kings." $27.50USD
