The People's Emperor is a real page-turner'ED CONWAY'This is a book written to be enjoyed: it's a gripping, fascinating biography' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE'Bold, brilliant and often bonkers, The People's Emperor is a thunderously good read'JUSTIN MAROZZIBorn into imperial splendour, Louis-Napoleon - the nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte - grew up far from power after the defeat at Waterloo. In exile, he repeatedly plotted, unsuccessfully, to restore his uncle's empire. Few took him seriously.But what followed is one of the most astonishing, impossible stories in history. Aged 40, Louis-Napoleon would be elected president of France. Three years later, he seized power to become emperor.Napoleon III's story is one of self-belief, political skill and radical innovation - the first person to master mass democratic politics and populism. Yet, despite being one of the most important trailblazers of the nineteenth century, he is largely misunderstood today, if not totally forgotten.His strange rise and catastrophic fall is a story of both tragedy and farce, set during some of France's most tumultuous decades. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
