Owens, a psychologist and historian who has lectured at several universities in the US and England, traces the lives of Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Elisabeth, the last monarchs of Austria-Hungary. Franz Joseph ruled Austria as part of the Habsburg dynasty from 1848-1916, and Owens details the events that preceded and occurred during his reign, including the previous rulers in the dynasty, the upheavals in Central Europe as laboring classes fought against their imperial occupiers, the role of Austria's prime minister Metternich, the history of the conquerors Napoleon and Bismarck, the Crimean War, and the beginning of World War I. She describes their children, Franz Joseph's mistress, their attitudes of superiority toward the masses, and other details of their lives.
