Book Synopsis
This is the incredible true story of one man’s attempt to create an independent country on the continent of Antarctica.
The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of Westarctica charts the struggles of Grand Duke Travis as he vainly seeks
recognition from unsympathetic foreign governments and battles the internal squabbles of his citizens.
When things go even further south, the Grand Duke is forced to abdicate the throne, but makes a triumphant return four years later in a daring coup d'état against his successor.
An excellent case study in new country projects, this political memoir is as inspiring as it is informative.
