Summary
William von Habsburg wore the uniform of the Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, and, every so often, a dress. As a teenager during WWI, he chose for his kingdom the exotic and unknown land of Ukraine. But the collapse of his Ukrainian dream made him, by turns, an ally of German imperialists, a notorious French lover, an angry Austrian monarchist, a calm opponent of Hitler, and finally a British spy against Stalin.Acclaimed historian Timothy Snyder'sThe Red Princeoffers an indelible portrait of a fascinating man who embodied the many contradictions of twentieth-century Europe.
