Description

The Crown of Mexico: Maximilian and His Empress Carlota by Joan Haslip tells the tragic and fascinating story of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico and his wife, Empress Carlota. Set against the political unrest of nineteenth-century Mexico and European ambition, this historical biography explores how an Austrian archduke was placed on the Mexican throne with the backing of Napoleon III.

Haslip brings to life the hopes, mistakes, romance, and heartbreak surrounding Maximilian and Carlota’s short-lived empire. As their dream of ruling Mexico begins to collapse, the story becomes one of loyalty, delusion, political betrayal, and personal tragedy.

Rich in historical detail and dramatic character portraits, this book is a compelling choice for readers interested in royal history, Mexican history, European politics, biographies, and stories of ambition gone wrong.

Hardcover, Very Good.
