The Three Emperors

Miranda Carter`s “Three Emperors” is a riveting account of how three men who should have known better helped bring down an entire world is a gripping story of abdication, betrayal and murder.As cousins, George V, Kaiser Wilhelm II and the last Tsar Nicholas II should have been friends – but they happened also to rule Europe`s three most powerful states. This potent combination together with their own destructive personalities – petty, insecure, bullying, absurdly obsessive (stamp collecting, uniforms) – led not only to their own dramatic fallouts and falls from grace, but also to the outbreak of the First World War.Three cousins. Three Emperors. And the road to ruin.
