Two Bullets in Sarajevo: The Story Behind the Greatest Assassination in the 20th Century

by D. Lawrence-Young

Overview

Two Bullets in Sarajevo is the story of an action that many believe led to the outbreak of the First World War. We learn how a group of six teenage idealistic Serbian nationalists assassinate the Archduke, Franz Ferdinand, and his wife, Sophie, in Sarajevo in June 1914. But this novel is also a true love story. The outwardly gruff Austrian archduke falls madly in love with a beautiful and intelligent countess. However, in doing so, he breaks all the rules of the strict Viennese court. In proclaiming his love for this lady of lower aristocratic rank, he is forced to meet her secretly and to wait six years before he can marry her.
