Ukrainian Institute is pleased to invite you to a book presentation by Yale
University historian Timothy Snyder on Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 7pm who
will read from and sign copies of his critically acclaimed book <em>The Red
Prince</em>. The book is a historical biography of Wilhelm von Habsburg
(1895-1949), also known as</p><p align="center">Vasyl
Vyshyvanyi.</p><p> </p><p>Born a prince, Wilhelm von Habsburg was
raised to be king of Poland, but, rebelling against his father's plans for
him, tried instead to become king of Ukraine. To achieve his goal of
bringing all of Ukraine - whose lands had been divided between the Habsburg
and Russian empires - into the Habsburg monarchy, Wilhelm became a
Ukrainian Habsburg: he learned the language, commanded Ukrainian troops in
World War I, and bound himself closely to his chosen nation. "Wilhelm
became a legend across the country," writes Snyder, "the Habsburg who spoke
Ukrainian, the archduke who loved the common people, the Red
Prince."</p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><img border="0"
