Download Thunder at Twilight: Vienna 1913/1914 AudioBook Free
Thunder at Twilight is a landmark historical perspective, attracting on hitherto untapped sources to illuminate two crucial years in the life of the astonishing city of Vienna - and in the life of the 20th hundred years. It was during the carnival of 1913 that a young Stalin found its way to Vienna on the mission that would launch him in to the higher echelon of Russian revolutionaries, and it was here that he first collided with Trotsky. It was in Vienna that the failed designer Adolf Hitler placed daubing watercolors and spouting tirades at fellow drifters in a flophouse. Here, Archduke Franz Ferdinand had a troubled audience with Emperor Franz Joseph - and soon the bullet that wiped out the archduke would tripped the Great War that would wipe out 10 million more. With luminous prose that has double made him a finalist for the Country wide Book Honor, Frederic Morton evokes the opulent, graceful, matchless sunset metropolis - Vienna on the brink of cataclysm.
