From that discovery unspooled the captivating, twisting tale of the remarkable people who lived in the house before Eisen. Their story is Europe's, telling the dramatic and surprisingly cyclical tale of the endurance of liberal democracy: the optimistic Jewish financial baron who built the palace  the conflicted Nazi general who put his life at risk for the house during World War II  the first postwar US ambassador struggling to save both the palace and Prague from communist hands  the child star- turned-diplomat who fought to end totalitarianism  and Eisen's own mother, whose life demonstrates how those without power and privilege moved through history.\r\n\r\n   The Last Palace chronicles the upheavals that have transformed the continent over the past century and reveals how we never live far from the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
