Book excerpt: "Monarchy is the fount of celebrity, and Prochaska reveals that members of the British royal family have been central to the emergence of America's obsession with fame, offering an aristocratic contrast to the instant creations of the media. For their part the royal family has understood their relationship to America to be an integral part of their public image. Over centuries America's complex relationship with the British monarchy has been a feature of both nations' conversation about themselves, a conversation that The Eagle and the Crown explores with wit and panache."--BOOK JACKET.
