Queen & the USA

Ever since her first visit to the United States in October 1957 to celebrate the 350th Anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English Settlement in the New World, the popularity of the Queen Elizabeth II has demonstrated how Britain’s heritage has taken roots in America. Embedded in the Great Republic are the shared traditions of respect for the law, democracy and free enterprise. The values continue as the bedrock of the relationship between Great Britain and the USA and will be celebrated in this Diamond Jubilee Year on both sides of the Atlantic. This book offers a pictorial celebration of the relationship between Queen Elizabeth II and her American friends. She has been photographed with 12 Presidents of the United States, and has visited all across America. The tributes offered in this book begin with a Foreword by Chief Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and includes essays from leading authorities in the fields of the Rule of Law, Diversity and Free Enterprise.
