Inhaltsangabe
They were five boys with bombs in their pockets and a dream of freedom in their hearts. Their target was an empire. On the morning of June 28, 1914, the city of Sarajevo was a stage set for pageantry, ready to welcome the heir to the mighty Habsburg throne . But hidden in the cheering crowds, a conspiracy was about to unfold. Scattered along the parade route were young assassins, their nerves fraying, their hands clutching Belgian pistols and crude bombs, ready to die for a cause they barely understood. After a bungled first attempt leaves the city in chaos, the mission seems lost . The Archduke is safe, and the plotters are scattered. But history has a final, shocking twist in store. A simple error-a chauffeur's wrong turn down an unfamiliar street-will give one young assassin a second, impossible chance. From the secret meetings of the Black Hand to the final, fatal seconds on a Sarajevo street corner, this is a gripping, cinematic account of how a meticulously planned assassination descended into chaos, only to succeed through the sheer, unpredictable force of a historical accident.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Robert Walker spent thirty-five years in the sports betting industry in Las Vegas, a career that provided unexpected training for analyzing the British monarchy. He learned early that the favorite doesn't always win, but the house always survives. When not calculating the survival odds of historical dynasties, he writes about the intersection of high stakes and human folly. He lives in Las Vegas, where the kings are made of neon and usually last longer than the real ones.
