Description
This compelling history explores the intertwined lives of George V of Britain, Nicholas II of Russia, and Wilhelm II of Germany—three royal cousins whose family ties could not prevent the nations they ruled from drifting toward catastrophe. Drawing on personal correspondence, political history, and vivid character portraits, it examines their upbringing, rivalries, personalities, and often uneasy relationships against the backdrop of a rapidly changing Europe. The book reveals how dynastic privilege, national ambition, militarism, and personal misjudgment shaped the road to the First World War and transformed the European monarchy. Engaging and richly researched, it offers an intimate portrait of power, family, and the limits of royal influence.
