In THE LAST EMPEROR OF MEXICO, he tells the bizarre and little known story of how, in 1864, a hubristic Austrian Archduke became the puppet Emperor of Mexico - with tragic results and pivotal historical consequences for Europe and America. ‘A superbly entertaining and well-researched account that sets a new standard for histories of the doomed escapade’ - Financial Times.
