An edition of The Three Emperors (2009)

The three emperors

three cousins, three empires and the road to World War One

by

  • 3 Want to read

Uses the cousins' correspondence and a host of historical sources to tell the tragicomic story of a tiny, glittering, solipsistic world that was often preposterously out of kilter with its times, struggling to stay in command of politics and world events as history overtook it.
