The Crown of Mexico: Maximilian and His Empress Carlota
by Joan Haslip (Author)
History is studded with tragedies, but has there ever been a greater chronicle of personal disaster than the story of Ferdinand Maximilian, younger brother of Franz Josef of Austria and ill-fated Emperor of Mexico? Joan Haslip unravels this tragic historical mystery against the background of a Mexico up in arms, the American Civil War, and European court and financial intrigue.
