He Spoke The Italian Of His Archduchess Mother, The German Of His Archduke Father, The English Of His British Royal Friends, The Polish Of The Country His Father Wished To Rule, And The Ukrainian Of The Land Wilhelm Wished To Rule Himself. In This Exhilarating Narrative History, Prizewinning Historian Timothy D. Snyder Offers An Indelible Portrait Of An Aristocrat Whose Life Personifies The Wrenching Upheavals Of The First Half Of The Twentieth Century, As The Rule Of Empire Gave Way To The New Politics Of Nationalism.
