Royal Gatherings, Volume II: 1914-1939

ROYAL GATHERINGS was inspired by the Eurohistory Magazine's section, Who's In a Photo. This section has proven to be the magazine's most popular feature. In the Second Volume of this series, the authors analyzed thirty-six photos taken at royal gatherings. Each photo is given a chapter and in each chapter, the authors provide short biographies of the royal personages included in the image, providing not only insightful information about the protagonists, but also a very unique selection of vignettes on most of the royals covered in the book. Co-authored by Ilana D. Miller and Arturo E. Beéche, it promises to be an excellent addition to Eurohistory's growing library of unique titles. Ranging from the last Imperial Russian visit abroad in June 1914 to the wedding of Princess Irene of Greece and Prince Aimone of Savoy, Duke of Spoleto, just weeks before the start of the Second World War, ROYAL GATHERINGS II examines thirty-six group photos taken at various royal get-togethers between those years. Each of the thirty-six chapters focuses on one particular gathering. In each gathering the authors provide interesting vignettes, or what Prince Michael of Greece calls "la petite histoire." Besides written stories on each of the royalties present in any of the given group photos, the authors also included many individual photos to accompany the text. The book contains more than 330 photos, as well as an extensive family tree that includes most of the royalties discussed in the book. ROYAL GATHERINGS II has 248-long glossy pages and is hardbound.
