'Never again', became Queen Elizabeth II's mantra shortly after Diana's death. More specifically, there could never be 'another Diana'—a member of the family whose global popularity upstaged, outshone and posed an existential threat to the British monarchy. Picking up where The Diana Chronicles left off, The Palace Papers reveals how the royal family reinvented itself after the traumatic years when Diana's blazing celebrity ripped through the House of Windsor like a comet.

You've watched him dominate headlines for decades. You've seen him win an election everyone said was impossible, survive scandals that would destroy normal politicians, and build a following so loyal they'd follow him through hell wearing gasoline underpants. But here's what you haven't seen: the psychological machinery behind it all. This book rips apart the most persuasive president in modern history and shows you exactly how he does it. Not the surface-level stuff about Twitter and red hats.
