King Zog: Blood Feuds, Bazookas and The Balkans - Albania's Game of Thrones

From his rise to power as the youngest Prime Minister to his declaration as the first and only king of Albania, this episode is a rollercoaster of political intrigue, blood feuds, and assassination attempts.
Discover how Zog survived over 50 attempts on his life, navigated international exile, and even crossed paths with Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond. Learn about his alliances, his enemies, and the surreal life of his son, Leka, who found himself entangled in global escapades and plots to reclaim the Albanian throne.
Join us for an episode that blends historical facts with the wild, almost unbelievable tales of a king who lived through one of the most tumultuous periods in European history.
