Carter M., The Three Emperors. three cousins, tyree Empires and the road to world War One — 2010
Аннотация: The Three Emperors is a study in the envy, insincerity, festering rancour and muddle that only families can manage. It is a study, too, of three stultified, small-minded, introverted courts (there were 63 grades of military officer in the Berlin court and 287 chamberlains at the Russian court) and of the rare insights and frequent blunders with which court intriguers and uniformed popinjays intervened in diplomacy, social unrest, the arms race and the armed forces.
