She was possibly the author of a book gossiping about the German Emperor William II and Berlin society in 1884 under the pseudonym Paul Vasili. She stalked the English-born South African politician Cecil Rhodes. After she asked him to marry her and he refused, she sought revenge by forging his name on a promissory note. Radziwill was convicted of forging Rhodes' signature and spent time in a South African jail. This account of a turbulent time in South Africa's history is made more interesting by the relationship of Catherine to Cecil Rhodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 156\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9.25 x 7.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 18, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42717947068479,"sku":"9781438517742","price":27.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/dab65eda9554df48191fff60ab2cc228.webp?v=1765080193","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/cecil-rhodes-man-and-empire-maker-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
