Dracula, Prince of Many Faces reveals the extraordinary life and times of the infamous Vlad Dracula of Romania (1431-1476), nicknamed the Impaler. Dreaded by his enemies, emulated by later rulers like Ivan the Terrible, honored by his countryment even todya, Vlad Dracula was surely one of the most intriguing figures to have stalked the corridors of Eruopean and Asian capials in the fifteenth century.

Vlad Dracula also served as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale. However, as this biography proves, "the real Dracula is far more interesting than the fictional vampire created by Bram Stoker" (Houston Chronicle). Covering Vlad Dracula's entire life and subsequent legend, this book includes "a fascinating chapter on the mystery of Dracula's empty grave" (New York Times Book Review).
