From the rear cover
"Likely to become a cornerstone in Brazilian historiography . . . Citizen Emperor is an eloquently written, evenhanded and full-bodied treatment of Pedro II, the man, the monarch, and his times. . . . Comprehensively researched and documented, this work is liberally endowed with revealing quotations from family, friends, observers, and the emperor himself."--Luso-Brazilian Review
"This well-written major work is thoroughly researched, and it covers Dom Pedro's life in great detail. He will not need another biographer."--History: Review of New Books
