Review:
For those interested in a personal slide show of the late Princess of Wales, royal commentator Anthony Holden's full-color photo essay, with more than 150 images from Diana's life, might be the closest you'll get. Thick, glossy, and laden with moving quotes from her famous, eclectic mix of friends--Henry Kissinger, Elton John, and Mother Teresa, among others--Her Life & Her Legacy is a polished and engaging tribute to the princess. Said Nelson Mandela: "She was an ambassador for victims of landmines, war orphans, the sick and needy throughout the world. She was undoubtedly one of the best ambassadors of Great Britain."
