Synopsis
Could the event that triggered the 'war to end all wars' have been prevented? The shot that killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand and directly led to the outbreak of the First World War is known as the 'shot heard around the world'. Far less widely known is the fact that the Archduke owned, but on that fateful day did not wear, a bulletproof vest manufactured by Polish priest-turned-inventor Casimir Zeglen. Using a reconstructed bulletproof vest and a Royal Armouries Browning Model 1910 pistol identical to that used by the Archduke's assassin, Lisa Traynor highlights the risks associated with power and status in the early 20th century. Assessing the design and composition of Zeglen's armours, she charts the technological development of pistols used during this period's assassination plots. Testing her findings on a replica of the Archduke's bulletproof vest, Traynor poses the haunting question: had Franz Ferdinand been wearing body armour on the day of his assassination, would it have saved his life? Featured in the BBC TV series Sword, Musket and Machine Gun: Britain's Armed History , this fascinating book breaks new ground in our understanding of the outbreak of the First World War., The shot that killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 is known as the 'shot heard around the world'. Using a reconstructed bulletproof vest and a Browning Model 1910 pistol, Lisa Traynor poses a haunting question: had Franz Ferdinand been wearing body armour on the day of his assassination, would it have saved his life?, Could the event that triggered the 'war to end all wars' have been prevented? The shot that killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand - long considered the catalyst for the outbreak of the First World War - is often described as the 'shot heard around the world'. Far less widely known is the fact that the Archduke may have owned, but on that fateful day did not wear, a silk bulletproof vest created by Polish priest-turned-inventor Casimir Zeglen. Applying innovative new research, Lisa Traynor highlights the risks associated with power and status in the early 20th century, and charts the technological development of pistols used in the period's assassination plots. Testing replicas of Zeglen's invention with a Royal Armouries Browning Model 1910 pistol identical to that used by the Archduke's assassin, Traynor poses the haunting question: if Franz Ferdinand had worn body armour on the day of his assassination, would it have saved his life? Featured in the BBC TV series Sword, Musket and Machine Gun: Britain's Armed History, this fascinating book breaks new ground in our understanding of arms and armour technology on the eve of the First World War., Few single events in history have carried such vast consequences as the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which led to World War I, a war whose aftermath continues to affect our world today, a century later. But could the assassination have been prevented? Lisa Traynor starts with a little-known fact: the Archduke had--but did not wear that day--a bulletproof vest. From there, she highlights the risks faced by all powerful figures in that period of unrest, charts the technological development of pistols in the era, and, finally, tests her findings on a replica of the Archduke's vest. Could it have stood up to a close-up shot from the Browning Model 1910 used by the assassin? Of such questions is history made.

Was rated as Very Good. I chose it over other books that was less money. Some pages dogeared on bottom front pages. Not as clean as I think the rating says.
