Sarajevo, 28 June 1914: The story that altered the world's destiny.
A remarkable piece of political and literary detective work, this captivating narrative held the reader's attention from start to finish.
The young Gavrilo Princip arrived at the Vlajnic pastry shop in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, on the morning of 28 June 1914. Greeted by his fellow conspirators in the plot to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke, who was next in line to succeed as Emperor of Austria, was beginning a state visit to Sarajevo later that morning.
Ferdinand, widely regarded as temperamental, arrogant, and even deranged, represented everything the young students despised about imperial oppression. They meticulously planned to kill him around 11 a.m. as he paraded down Appel Quay to the town hall in his open-top car.
What transpired within those few hours, culminating in the First and Second World Wars, is as compelling as any thriller.
David James Smith has skillfully re-investigated and reconstructed the events that ultimately shaped the twentieth century, utilizing newly available sources and older material.
This meticulously researched and meticulously written book is a testament to the author's expertise and dedication to historical inquiry. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the pivotal moments that shaped the world we live in today.
