The horrors of World War I have Indy doing anything he can to aid in ending the Great War. An opportunity arises when Indy is ordered to escort two Habsburg royals into Austria to negotiate a separate peace from Germany. Secret documents, hidden agendas, and check points make the journey all the more risky for Indy and his companions. Austrian Emperor Karl I is apparently willing to negotiate the peace, but a devious prince stops Indy at every turn. Indy’s adventures then take him into the heart of Russia as he attempts to gauge the country’s pathway to Revolution. A growing friendship with Bolsheviks and an empowering speech by Vladimir Lenin challenges Indy’s loyalties to his duty.

DescriptorIn early 1917, Austrian Emperor Karl I secretly attempted to negotiate peace with the Allies separate from his own ally, Germany. The Emperor used his wife's brother, Sixtus, as an intermediary with the French. However, by 1917 the French new the Central Powers were doomed and a separate peace was out of the question. The French published Karl's negotiations in an attempt to further unwind the alliance of Germany and Austria. France's strategy worked to some degree, resulting in Germany's distrust of Austria for the remainder of the war. BooksShanafelt, Gary W. The secret enemy: Austria-Hungary and the German alliance.
