"In the decade leading up to war, Colonel Alfred Redl, deputy head
of the Austro-Hungarian General Staff's directorate of military
intelligence had betrayed his country's secrets to the Italians,
French and Russians. At 2.00am and 25th May 1913 he took his own
life with a single shot from a Browning. This book tells his story
for the first time following the rediscovery of long lost records.
A tragic story emerges of a man forced to hide his true sexuality
and who used his wealth to please his younger lover. The scandal
was huge and spawned many myths and legends. Now, for the first
time, after more than 100 years the true story has been pieced
together.
Fascinating work. 10/10"-- "The Great War Magazine" (1/1/2017
