Terrific balance to the Gotha itself
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
An excellent overview of the German overclass in the 19th century. Explains how the Gotha works (and what it *doesn't* do), summarizes many lines, and includes twenty-two fold-out tables and many illustrations. The author thoroughly humanizes the subject and the scattered anecdotes are often wildly funny. And it has my favorite opening line of almost any book: " `For me, mankind begins with barons,' Prince Metternich used to remark benevolently."
