Publisher's Notes
Throughout history many individuals have dreamed of becoming a king, queen, or president; some achieved success but the great majority were pure fantasists. However, both types took themselves very seriously and often produced coins, banknotes, stamps, and heraldic devices as proof of their status. From ancient to modern times, from the Far East to the New World, REBELS, PRETENDERS, & IMPOSTERS looks at amazing examples of would be kings, caliphs, emperors, and rebel leaders.

Cheesman, Clive; Williams, Jonathan
St Martin's Press, 2000. Near-new condition - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - Illustrated throughout - 192 pages - "Throughout history individuals have pictured themselves becoming emperor, king, queen or president. Some have proved successful, others not, while some were pure fantasists. Many produced coins, banknotes, stamps and heraldic devices as proof of the status they claimed. In exploring the issues surrounding political legitimacy, this book brings together evidence for an amazing variety of would-be sovereigns and phantom countries, rebel states and royal impostors, ranging from ancient to modern times and from the Orient to the New World." "The personalities, their individual stories and the images they employed are fascinating in themselves, but set in a wider context they also demonstrate the changing tradition of pretence and rebellion. The authors examine fundamental concepts of loyalty and group identity in a timely commentary on the nature of legitimate power and established sovereignty. Their analysis reveals the convenient fictions, collective myths and pseudo-histories inherent even today in the construction and maintenance of a dynasty or modern nation.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ( more information) Offered by Ginny6 Books (United States)
