description: Autobiography and memoir by a really unique figure of Hungarian and European politics. Prince Windischgraetz was born in 1982 and met everyone that mattered during his lifetime includins Emperor Franz Joseph Sir Winston Churchill Douglas Macarthur President Theodore Roosevelt just to name a few. He travelled extensively from China to America from Africa to Argentina while always remained true to his Hungarian origins and his chosen profession: soldier. He acted as a good soldier in 1918 when he tried to save Hungary from the final catastrophe and he acted as a good soldier in 1925 when he played a leading role in the greatest financial scandal of the country and took the fall for it. This is the story of a true renaissance man written in a captivating and elegant style wit and humor - and with great humility. He was as high as one can climb when he dined with Teddy Roosevelt and he was as low as one can sink when he worked at the Port of Buenos Aires and he tells it all. A remarkable book that could be appreciated by anyone who loves excellent writing and enjoys honest people.
