Between two Emperors: The Willy-Nicky telegrams and letters, 1894-1914

by Wilhelm II, John van der Kiste (Editor)

Between 1894 and 1914 the German Emperor William II and Tsar Nicholas II of Russia exchanged a series of telegrams and letters, published in 1918 and 1920. Apart from family news and gossip, they also threw an interesting light on the political relations between both sovereigns during the years leading up to the First World War, the Emperor's dislike of Russia's ally France, and his resentment of King Edward VII of Britain. These are now published for the first time in one volume, with a new introduction.
