Europeans were spellbound by the cruel fate nobly borne by the voiceless Fritz, who for more than two decades had been celebrated as a military hero and loved as a kindly gentleman. A number of grief-stricken individuals reportedly offered to sacrifice their own healthy larynxes to save the ailing emperor. Frank Lorenz Müller, in the first comprehensive life of Frederick III ever written, reconstructs how the hugely popular persona of "Our Fritz" was created and used for various political purposes before and after the emperor's tragic death. Sandwiched between the reign of his ninety-year-old father and the calamitous rule of his own son, the future emperor William II, Frederick III served as a canvas onto which different political forces projected their hopes and fears for Germany's future. The book moves beyond the myth that Frederick's humane liberalism would have built a lasting Anglo-German partnership, perhaps even preventing World War I, and beyond the castigations and exaggerations of parties with a different agenda. Surrounded by an unforgettable cast of characters that includes the emperor's widely hated English wife, Vicky-daughter of Queen Victoria-and the scheming Otto von Bismarck, Frederick III offers in death as well as in life a revealing, poignant glimpse of Prussia, Germany, and the European world that his son would help to shatter. 606 $aEmperors$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aPrinces$zGermany$vBiography 606 $aPolitical culture$zGermany$xHistory 606 $aMemorialization$zGermany$xHistory 607 $aGermany$xKings and rulers$vBiography 607 $aPrussia (Germany)$xKings and rulers$vBiography 607 $aGermany$xPolitics and government$y1871-1918 607 $aGermany$xHistory$yFrederick III, 1888 615 0$aEmperors 615 0$aPrinces 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 615 0$aMemorialization$xHistory. 676 $a943.08/4092 676 $aB 700 $aMu?ller$b Frank Lorenz$f1970-$0994042 702 $aMu?ller$b Frank Lorenz$f1970- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789702103321 996 $aOur Fritz$93682901 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02942nam 2200601 450 001 9910792371803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-60135-0 010 $a9786612601354 010 $a90-474-2709-2 035 $a(CKB)2670000000009840 035 $a(EBL)489435 035 $a(OCoLC)593295861 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000333915 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11295168 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000333915 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10378534 035 $a(PQKB)11653811 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC489435 035 $a(OCoLC)289096028 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789047427094 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL489435 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11061915 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL260135 035 $a(PPN)174401566 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000009840 100 $a20081219d2009 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAdmission to the United Nations $eCharter Article 4 and the rise of universal organization /$fby Thomas D.

Eventually, however, the UN came to approximate a universal organization - idlest, open to and aspiring to include all States. This presents a legal question, for Article 4 of the Charter contains substantive criteria to limit admission of States to the UN and no formal amendment has touched that part of the Charter. This book gives an up-to-date account of admission to the UN, from the 1950's ?logjam? through on-going controversies like Kosovo and Taiwan. With reference to Charter law, the book considers how Article 4 came to accommodate universality and what the future of a universal organization in a world of politically diverse States might be. 410 0$aLegal aspects of international organization ;$v50. 606 $aInternational organization 615 0$aInternational organization. 676 $a341.23/3 700 $aGrant$b Thomas D.$f1969-$01482661 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792371803321 996 $aAdmission to the United Nations$93852368 997 $aUNINA
