Sommario/riassunto |
|
"During the night of 24 to 25 May 1913 three high-ranking military officials wait for hours outside a hotel in the centre of Vienna. At around 2am they hear the shot of a Browning. They know that one of their own has just ended his life: Colonel Alfred Redl, the former deputy head of the Evidenzbüro, the Austro-Hungarian General Staff's directorate of military intelligence, and confidant of the heir to the throne. ... What no one had known; for almost a decade he had betrayed significant and damaging secrets to the Italians, the French and the Russians."--Book jacket. |
