The professor, who was in his first semester as a tenure-track professor, gave a presentation about the anarchists as being a precursor to the fighting.

Fast-forward to 2007. I attended a teacher's workshop at my alma mater for in-service credit when the same professor gave much the same presentation, except he talked about these assassinations as acts of proto-terrorism. I chatted with him afterward about how 9/11 (and also the Bosnian War, which was still on-going in 1995) changed our perception/presentation of the likes of the Black Hand and Gavrilo Princip.

With that in mind, yes, the King/Woolmans book has its flaws, but as a general-interest biography, it does present an interesting enough picture of the duo as to make it not an unworthy read. My review was milder than it otherwise would have been because I recognized their audience was not WWI/interwar scholars such as I was in a former life
