Books - Revolution, Monarchist Movements

Can anyone recommend books (English preferred, but I will try to struggle through some German) on the Revolution in the various German states, the lives of the royals after the revolution, and post-revolution monarchist movements in Germany and Austria? Thank you.

Did anyone know this book?

Title: The Red Prince: The Secret Lives of A Habsburg Archduke
Author: Timothy Snyder
Publication: 2008

It's about Archduke Wilhelm von Habsburg (1896-1948) son of Charles Stephen of Austria and Maria Theresia of Austria-Tuscany.

Is it worth to buy or no?

Recommend a good book

Hi,

I wonder if anyone could give me some good advice? I'm looking for a book that would cover 18th and 19th century German nobility - particually just the ruling families. Something that gives me a bit of background on each one (pictures would be a bonus - though I know of course that photography wasn't much used before 1850 - but there were paintings)

I know that Burkes Peerage might be useful - but it's frightfully expensive. I have sourced some of the "Who's who's" from the 1870's which give some insight - but those really only cover the ruler of the territory and give very little on his family.

Any pointers appreciated - thanks :)

I just finished the Red Prince: the Secret Lives of a Habsburg Archduke by Timothy Snyder. It is a very good account of the fascinating life of this great-great-grandson of Leopold II. Born in today Croatia, son of a Polish Habsburg father and an Italian Habsburg mother, raised to be a Polish prince he ends up candidate to an Ukrainian throne! Very well written and historically accurate. Another book from this famous author.

I am more interested in the Habsburg family than in the German royal families but I would recommend you to go to a library,they usually have a lot of good books and you can ask them for anything you are interested in.In my city there are also clubs/groups of students (Studentenverbindungen) who have very good material on history,most of them also have some older members who are very knowledgeable and who are happy if you ask them to tell you what they know about the past!
Some years ago a catalog-order company promoted books on royal genealogy (different royal families in Europe) with many pictures,a family tree and some information about the dinasty and certain exceptional members of each family.The books had a good value for money and I liked the family tree at the end of each book because it is of big help to keep the names apart (sometimes I get quite confused when several persons have the same surname or the family is really big!)

Hi! What are, for you, the best photo-ablums about German royalty (Saxony, Bayern, Prussia, Hanover...)?

Regards and thanks in advance!

'Royalty Before the Wars'
'Royalty Between the Wars'
'Royalty After the Wars'
- all by William Mead Lalor, Rosvall Royal Books
These three books are sub-headed "A Picture Album" and have detailed and expansive captions for the many (many!) photographs.

'The Grand Dukes of Oldenburg'
'Toscana/Tuscany - The Unknown Habsburgs'
- both by David McIntosh, Rosvall Royal Books
In a similar format to the William Mead Lalor books but concentrating on the Grand Ducal Family of Oldenburg and the [Habsburg] Grand Ducal Family of Tuscany.

All five books are in effect photo albums and are highly recommended.
