"This book could not be more timely. As our world seems to be falling apart around us, demanding sacrifice, self-control and the courage to carry on, Bryan Kozlowski presents us with the salutary example of a woman who has lived a life of purpose and discipline in the service of something greater than herself. Thoroughly conversant with the serious and popular literature on the Queen and much else besides, he writes in a style so engaging and fun that one might miss his very serious and useful message for our times." -Robert Bucholz, professor of history, Loyola University, Chicago

Whether you're an ingenue intrigued by The Crown or a lifelong loyal subject of the sovereign, Long Live the Queen! is a must-read." -Dudley Delffs, author of The Faith of Queen Elizabeth

Long Live the Queen! allows readers a thoroughly enjoyable peek inside the life of the most famous woman on Earth and lets us in on the secrets to her tremendous health and success for over nine decades....From page one, Kozlowski's words had me believing that a brighter, more serene future lies ahead. It's not her servants or her position that make Queen Elizabeth's life remarkable-it's the simplicity and sense of purpose with which she lives each day. I intend to read this book several times in the coming years as a touchstone in my personal quest for a calm yet more productive life." -Melanie Summers, author of The Royal Treatment
