About the book

"Long to Reign? explores the factors that have contributed to thinning the ranks of the monarchies, which include the world wars, socialism, secularisation, westernisation and nationalism. It compares the state of monarchies at the outset of the twentieth century with the various common denominators in those countries that have retained their monarchies. In a controversial conclusion, A.W. Purdue argues that monarchies play an important role as agents of continuity, guarding and representing the national ethos."--Jacket.
