Product Description
Gregor Dallas tells the story of the extraordinary period from April 1814 to August 1815 through the perspectives of three very different European cities: the great metropolis of London, post-revolutionary Paris and baroque Vienna. His writing is almost cinematic in its power to evoke the Europe of Tolstoy; the ebb and flow of power, of armies and of peoples across Europe. We see Europe through the eyes and characters of its central players: Talleyrand, Metternich, Wellington, Tsar Alexander and Bonaparte.
