In 2012, Britain and the Commonwealth are commemorating the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's ascension to the throne. The royal family has faced numerous challenges in recent history, but currently enjoys widespread popularity. However, there is a debate about whether Queen Elizabeth II's reign has truly benefited the UK. Some argue that the traditions and culture of the monarchy have hindered Britain's progress in the modern world.

In his groundbreaking new book, Stephen Haseler explores this controversial topic.

Haseler offers an alternative perspective on modern British history, challenging readers to reconsider the role of the monarchy in shaping the nation's identity.

This thought-provoking and engaging book promises to be a captivating read in the Queen's anniversary year, offering a fresh take on the impact of the monarchy on British society.
