The Life of the Crown Prince Rudolph of Habsburg, (Paperback)

Written by Oskar Freiherr von Mitis, this work offers a comprehensive look at the complex personality of Crown Prince Rudolph, from his early education and military training to his evolving political views and intellectual pursuits.</p><p>The narrative provides essential context for the political landscape of the late 19th century, examining Rudolph's liberal leanings and his vision for the future of the Habsburg Empire-views that often placed him at odds with the conservative establishment and his father, Emperor Franz Joseph I.
