Count Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi (born 1894) was an Austro-Hungarian politician who was a pioneer of the European movement. He was the founding President of the Paneuropean Union and served in that capacity for 49 years. The Paneuropean Union was a pressure group presenting a vision for a peaceful, democratic united Europe, with no borders, a single passport, and a common currency. Things that seemed fanciful between the wars, but which became true after the Second World War.
Richard Basset, author of Last Days of Old Europe, wrote of the book: “A comprehensive study of Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi and his profound influence on the pan-European outlook of Churchill and Amery could not be more timely … Drawing on many hitherto unavailable family papers, Martyn Bond has constructed a rich seamless narrative describing this mesmerising personality”.
