Cecil Rhodes and the Princess by Brian Roberts. H/C. 405 pp.

What hold had the notorious Princess Radziwill over Cecil John Rhodes?

Cecil Rhodes personified all the most extreme characteristics of the Victorian Empire-builder. He also was a confirmed woman-hater. But when he died, many people said his death had been caused by the Polish adventuress Princess Radziwill, who followed him from London to Cape Town.
