Blessed Charles of Austria: A Holy Emperor and His Legacy

Marvelously written book about my favourite Saint by someone who really knows how to connect the historical, cultural and religious dots in this epic drama of a biography. I especially like how well structured it is, in three parts: 1) The Inheritance, where the reader learns all the prerequisites for this story, 2) the Imperial Lives in Tandem, which tells the dramatic story of one (or two?) Saints' lives amidst the total collapse of everything Good, True and Beautiful on the Old Continent, and 3) The Legacy, how all this impacts today's world and our everyday lives.
