Reviews
Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
De Massy is the only nephew of Prince Ranier of Monaco. The focus of an unsucessful coup d'etat planned by his mother when he was only six, De Massy is an erstwhile race car driver, twice divorced, and currently ostracized by his family and country. It is hard to know how much to believe of this self-justifying autobiography, but it is a fascinating expose of family scandals, petty jealousies, and political intrigue. The only person who emerges relatively unscathed is Princess Grace. The portrayal of Monaco's political ties with France and economic rivalry with Aristotle Onassis will be new information for most readers. Given the perennial interest in royalty and movie stars, this is a safe but inessential purchase for public libraries. Jeanne Gelinas, Hennepin Cty. Lib., Mound, Minn.
