Possibly no assassination in history can have had such momentous consequences for the history of the world as that of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, in June 1914. It was their killing which led directly to the outbreak of the First World War, just six weeks later.

|comment=I have just finished the book and found it enthralling. I’m not an historian but from other book’s I have read as well ( Frederick Morton’s “ Thunder at Midnight “especially ) , it seems that the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand is the greatest tragedy of the 20th century with all the misery it led to in both World Wars . A highly recommended book .
