Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi: Forgotten Father of Europe

In the turbulent period following the First World War the young Count Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi founded the Pan-European Union, offering a vision of peaceful, democratic unity for Europe. The Count’s commitment to this cooperative ideal infuriated Adolf Hitler, who referred to him as a “cosmopolitan bastard” in Mein Kampf. Martyn Bond’s biography offers an opportunity to explore a remarkable life and revisit the impetus and origins of a unified Europe. This event will explore Martyn's recent publication, 'Hitler’s Cosmopolitan Bastard: Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and his Vision of Europe'. #LSEEI30
