- W573761645 abstract "Shortly before 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 1, 1928, Europe gained a new kingdom and its only Muslim king: 32-year-old I of Albanians. Few foreign journalists were present in Parliament House in Tirana to hear him swear his oath on Koran and Bible, yet birth of Kingdom of Albaniaa native monarchy, not alien impositiondid not go unnoticed abroad. King (18951961) was a curiosity, and so he has remained: most atypical European monarch of twentieth century, a man entirely without royal connections who created his own kingdom. By contemporaries, he was variously labeled the last ruler of romance, an appalling gangster, the modern Napoleon, the finest patriot, and frankly a cad. Even today his reputation is disputed, but is undeniably one of foremost figures in Albanian history. Though notorious for cut-throat political intrigue, he promised to bring order and progress to a land that had long known little of either. It was I who made Albania, he claimed. Zog's reign ended in 1939; Italian Fascists forced him into exile and post-war Stalinists kept him there despite his best efforts to return. In this first full biography, Jason Tomes explores reality behind man described in The Times as the bizarre King Zog and shows him to have been product of a unique time and place. Tomes invites readers to set aside their assumptions about modern European monarchy and meet a king who fired back at assassins and paid his bills with gold bullion." @default.
