TuneInHow should we remember the man whose assassination sparked the July Crisis?
This month we are joined by Dr Sam Foster (UEA) to examine the life, death, and representation of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Along the way we discuss the complicated relationships of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Franz Ferdinand’s interactions with the contemporary press, and how everything eventually leads back to railways.
