"Tina Brown breathes new life into the saga of this royal icon... astutely revealing... insightful and absorbing."
—The New York Times Book Review
"Tina Brown's extraordinary book parts the brocaded velvet and allows us an unprecedented look at the world and mind of the most famous person on the planet. A social commentary, a historical document and a psychological examination, written by a superb investigative journalist."
—Academy Award® Winning Actress Helen Mirren
"Nothing comes close to Tina Brown's book for its tight grip on the dark human comedy that was Diana's life and death. Brown knows the ritual dances, the shouts and whispers of the tribes of Britain better than anyone who has ever written this story but she also has a perfect ear for the way ordinary people responded to the doomed Princess. The result is a compulsively page-turning trip to the poisoned place where class met glamour and the result was catastrophe."
—Simon Schama, author of A History of Britain
"This is not only first-rate biography, but a marvelous social history, and a bitingly accurate portrait of the English upper classes."
—Michael Korda, author of Charmed Lives and Ike
"Tina Brown has produced something that is, as well as absorbing and stirring, witty and penetrating."
—Christopher Hitchens, author of God Is Not Great
"A delightfully smart and insightful book that... weaves a compelling human drama into a rich social history."
—Walter Isaacson, author of Einstein: His Life and Universe.
