A Heart for Europe
$18.95
This wonderful biography gives us the story of the lives of Emperor Charles, the last Hapsburg ruler of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, and Empress Zita. Married to Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma, Charles inherited the throne of Austria-Hungary in 1916 at the height of World War One upon the death of his uncle, the Emperor Franz Josef. His dedicated efforts to end the war earned him the popular name the Peace-Emperor. After a heart-rending struggle in the face of impossible odds, he had an early death in exile on the island of Madeira, after two attempts to regain the Hungarian throne. This book tells of these events set in the context of the wider drama of the twentieth century, showing how a great and historically peaceful empire was destroyed.
