A fascinating study of the three dysfunctional rulers of Germany, Russia and Great Britain at the beginning of the 20th century: Kaiser Wilhelm II, Tsar Nicholas II and George V. Drawing on the correspondence of the 3 cousins, and a host of other historical sources, this tells the tragi-comic story of their tiny, glittering, solipsistic world that would prove hideously out of kilter with its times. Miranda Carter's previous book, }Anthony Blunt: His Lives{ received great reviews and was shortlisted for several prizes, winning the Orwell Prize and the Royal Society of Literature Award.
