🎙️ The Ides of April The Shot Heard Around the World — Part I
Chapters 1–3: “The Heir of an Empire,” “A City on Edge,” “Europe in Tinder”
He was born to rule an empire he never truly believed in.Archduke Franz Ferdinand — heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, reformer, romantic, and the man whose death would ignite the modern age.
In this sweeping first part of The Shot Heard Around the World, Branden Morgan traces the improbable life of the Archduke, the fragile peace of Sarajevo, and the continent teetering on the edge of disaster. From his forbidden marriage to Sophie Chotek to the volatile web of alliances that bound Europe in mutual paranoia, this is the story of how one city — and one bullet — became the hinge upon which the twentieth century turned.
Through vivid storytelling and sharp historical insight, The Ides of April brings to life the world that existed just before the fall — a world too confident to imagine it could end.
🎧 Featuring:
The rise and decay of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
The secret societies plotting revolution in the Balkans
The chain of alliances that made peace impossible
