Excerpt from Fifty Years a Queen In this work, pertinent to the time, the intent of the author has been to give, from an American standpoint, a brief and unbiassed resume of the events of Queen Victoria's time, and of her reign of half a century. Contemporaneously with the fifty years of her sovereignty, the marked progress made in Great Britain has been equalled, if not exceeded, by that made in the United States. Both nations have made enormous material growth within that period; and in the friction of events between the mother country and our own, the sentiment of good neighborship manifested towards us by the Queen of England invites the recognition of the American people, since, in addition to its pleasing aspect, it has been a factor in the harmony preserved between the United States and England through her reign. In our day of need, when the exigencies of civil war were taxing to its utmost our country, it should be remembered to the honor of Victoria that she steadfastly refused the earnest entreaty of Napoleon III. that England should unite with France in the establish incut of an empire in Mexico, and that she also declined his appeal that Great Britain should join France in the recognition of the Confederate Government as a belligerent power. She refused to take advantage of our critical situation, and to imperil our grand union at that time. When America lost its great men, Lincoln, Garfield, and Grant, her sympathy was as promptly and tenderly expressed as it has been in other national calamities. She has also been a power in the moralities of the ago. All these are reasons in favor of a general celebration of her jubilee on this side of the water, as well as iu Britain.

A timely and revelatory new biography of Queen Elizabeth (and her family) exploring how the Windsors have evolved and thrived, as the modern world has changed around them. Clive Irving’s stunning new narrative biography The Last Queen probes the question of the British monarchy’s longevity. In 2021, the Queen Elizabeth II finally appears to be at ease in the modern world, helped by the new generation of Windsors. But through Irving’s unique insight there emerges a more fragile institution, whose extraordinarily dutiful matriarch has managed to persevere with dignity, yet in doing so made a Faustian pact with the media. The Last Queen is not a conventional biography—and the book is therefore not limited by the traditions of that genre. Instead, it follows Elizabeth and her family’s struggle to survive in the face of unprecedented changes in our attitudes towards the royal family, with the critical eye of an investigative reporter who is present and involved on a highly personal level.
Based on police wiretaps and exclusive interviews with drug kingpins and hip-hop insiders, this is the untold story of how the streets and housing projects of southeast Queens took over the rap industry.For years, rappers from Nas to Ja Rule have hero-worshipped the legendary drug dealers who dominated Queens in the 1980s with their violent crimes and flashy lifestyles. Now, for the first time ever, this gripping narrative digs beneath the hip-hop fables to re-create the rise and fall of hustlers like Lorenzo “Fat Cat” Nichols, Gerald “Prince” Miller, Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, and Thomas “Tony Montana” Mickens. Spanning twenty-five years, from the violence of the crack era to Run DMC to the infamous murder of NYPD rookie Edward Byrne to Tupac Shakur to 50 Cent’s battles against Ja Rule and Murder Inc., to the killing of Jam Master Jay, Queens Reigns Supreme is the first inside look at the infamous southeast Queens crews and their connections to gangster culture in hip hop today.
