The Fall of the Dynasties

The Fall of the Dynasties is a brilliant account of the first quarter of the twentieth century, set against a backdrop of World War I. By the end of that great and terrible war, four of the most powerful and entrenched royal families had been deposed and their massive empires lay in ruins.

Edmon Taylor carefully examines the life and times of these aristocrats, and the rot that ate away at their power, ultimately reshaping the geo-politics on the planet Earth and setting the stage for World War II.
