En el cincuenta aniversario de su coronación, el hispanista Stanley G. Payne y el historiador Jesús Palacios han llevado a cabo una investigación exhaustiva en los fondos desclasificados de diferentes administraciones norteamericanas, fuentes primarias de diversos archivos españoles y numerosos testimonios directos. El resultado es este estudio, el más completo y objetivo, sobre la personalidad humana, íntima y política de Juan Carlos I durante sus primeros años de reinado y el punto de inflexión que supuso el golpe de Estado de 1981.

Esta obra, escrita en primera persona y cuya publicación es en sí un acontecimiento histórico, viene, en efecto, a reparar esa situación. Un recorrido que empieza en un país inmerso en una guerra cainita y con un joven Juan Carlos anclado a un destino que no le pertenece, pero que paso a paso, eludiendo mil complots y ganándose la confianza de unos y otros, acaba convirtiéndose en el actor principal de la transformación radical de España en el estado moderno y próspero que es hoy. Reconciliación relata en detalle la parte privada de una vida pública.

Esta entrega sigue a Luis XVI desde su infancia en Versalles hasta la guillotina, mostrando al hombre tímido, religioso y familiar que hubo detrás del monarca indeciso.

Este libro ofrece un retrato completo y profundamente humano de Luis XIV de Francia, el célebre Rey Sol, desde su niñez marcada por la Fronda hasta sus últimos días dominados por la enfermedad, el luto y la preocupación por el futuro de su reino.
