This is a big book that focuses on three cousins, George V, Nicholas II, and Wilhelm. Not only that, but how the family relations changed and shifted over the years. Pro-German and anti-Russian to the opposite with the changes in rulers and so on. It was a very good book that I thought balanced all three men very well. I've read about George V and Nicholas II, but never about Wilhelm and this really gave me a good starting point in who he was. And it definitely made me want to read more about him!
