520    Wilhelm Von Habsburg wore the uniform of the Austrian 
       officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the 
       simple suit of a Parisian exile, the collar of the Order 
       of the Golden Fleece, and, every so often, a dress. He 
       could handle a saber, a pistol, a rudder, or a golf club; 
       he handled women by necessity and men for pleasure. In 
       this exhilarating narrative history, 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. Coming of age during 
       the First World War, Wilhelm repudiated his family to 
       fight alongside Ukrainian peasants in hopes that he would 
       become their king. When this dream collapsed he became, by
       turns, an ally of German imperialists, a notorious French 
       lover, an angry Austrian monarchist, a calm opponent of 
       Hitler, and a British spy against Stalin. The Red Prince 
       captures an extraordinary moment in the history of Europe,
       in which the old order of the past was giving way to an 
       undefined future-and in which everything, including 
       identity itself, seemed up for grabs.
