What is The Sun Kings : a History of Magnificent Kingship about?

Over the last three millennia, the great kings of history have dazzled the world with their ability to build empires and rule them, and also with their shows of opulence and excess in the public display of power. From Ramses II raising the temples and statues of Egypt in the 13th century BC through Charlemagne reviving Roman imperial glory for 9th-century Europe, Peter the Great's transformation of Russia into a western power, and Napoleon's parceling of Europe for his family, this beautifully illustrated book examines the lives and achievements of 50 magnificent rulers. Many are portrayed here in full-page color images, along with their palaces, monuments, triumphant moments, and royal regalia.
