THE SHOTS THAT IGNITED A BLOODBATH
In a Europe dominated by empires in the early years of the twentieth century, ethnic nationalism is challenging the status-quo, threatening to throw the continent into an unfathomable turmoil that its leaders try to hedge against by strengthening the alliances they got into. Appearing the most vulnerable to this phenomenon is the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is situated at the heart of Europe and whose citizens come from Europe's three major language groups. But strangely enough, its emperor Franz Josef is loved by the majority in all the nationalities.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, looks set to succeed the aging Emperor. His marriage, which is considered one of the world's "Greatest Love Affairs", is an inspiration for an empire badly in need of unity; and his open-mindedness, progressive administration and tenacious nature promise to transform the empire into a beacon of hope in a tumultuous Europe and world. However, his assassination by a group of young men trained, armed and funded by fanatics in neighboring Serbia, would spark off the greatest war of its time, a world war whose effects still haunt the world today.
In The Shots that Ignited a Bloodbath, Janvier T. Chando presents an honest, insightful and unique account of the atmosphere leading to World War One, putting in the hands of the reader powerful perspectives that can change our turbulent world for the better.
