The Red Prince: the Secret Life of a Habsburg Archduke

About This Novel
Wilhelm von Habsburg was both an imperial prince wearing the collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece and a red prince wearing armor. The fall of the Habsburg Monarchy in World War I shattered his dream of establishing the Kingdom of Ukraine. Since then, he has changed his identity many times: he was an associate of the German imperialists, he was a notorious lover of France, he was an angry Austrian monarchist, he was an opponent of Hitler who looked on with cold eyes, and finally he became a desperate supporter of Ukrainian independence. William's ups and downs life demonstrated the fluidity of personal identity and the diversity of national identities, and reflected the historical truth and political reality of the rise of European nation-states.
