The French Second Empire: An Anatomy of Political Power

Description

This thoroughly researched book on the Second Empire examines how Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte was able to secure election as President of the Republic and subsequently to launch a coup d'état to establish a Second Empire. It considers the ways in which power was exercised by the new empire and how Napoleon III engaged in a difficult process of transition towards more liberal policies only to experience catastrophic defeat and the destruction of the regime because of war against Prussia.

"Second Empire is a crucial addition to our understanding of this complex institution, and will likely remain an indispensable starting point for Second Empire scholarship." The Journal of Military History

"a major achievement...It will surely--and deservedly--be regarded as the standard work on the "anatomy" of a political system now receiving its due attention." H-FRANCE
