In 1910, three European powers were ruled by three cousins: Britain by King George V, Russia by Tsar Nicholas II and Germany by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Drawing on the sovereigns' correspondence and a host of other documents, this compelling narrative history evokes the claustrophobic world of family rivalry, palace intrigue and diplomatic brinkmanship through which these men stumbled towards the most destructive conflict the world had ever known; a war which would cost one his throne and another his life. Previously sold as 'The Three Emperors.' Felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edges. American cut.
