Book Synopsis
The shot that killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 is known as the ‘shot heard around the world’. Using a reconstructed bulletproof vest and a Browning Model 1910 pistol, Lisa Traynor poses a haunting question: had Franz Ferdinand been wearing body armour on the day of his assassination, would it have saved his life?
