Overview

La verdadera historia de Maximiliano y Carlota y de su convulso reinado en México... En 1864, un joven archiduque austriaco llamado Maximiliano y su esposa Carlota cruzaron el Atlántico para asumir un trono lejano en América. Napoleón III los había convencido para que emprendieran una aventura en México: el emperador francés había prometido a Maximiliano una bienvenida de héroe. En lugar de eso, se encontraron en mitad de una sangrienta guerra civil. Con la cabeza llena de ideales ––y una singular afición por las mariposas––, el nuevo «emperador» no estaba preparado para su destino. Shawcross narra en este magnífico libro una tragedia sangrienta cuyos efectos reverberaron hasta la actualidad. The true story of Maximilian and Carlota and their turbulent reign in Mexico. This is history's judgement on the events surrounding the ill-fated reign of Maximilian of Mexico, the young Austrian archduke who in 1864 crossed the Atlantic to assume a faraway throne. He had been convinced to do so by a duplicitous Napoleon III. Keen to spread his own interests abroad, the French emperor promised Maximilian a hero's welcome, which he would ensure with his own mighty military support. Instead, Maximilian walked into a bloody guerrilla war - and with a headful of impractical ideals and a penchant for pomp and butterflies, the so-called new emperor was singularly unequipped for the task. The ensuing saga would feature the great world leaders of the day, popes, bandits and queens; intrigue, conspiracy and cut-throat statecraft, as Mexico became the pivotal battleground in the global balance of power, between Old Europe and the burgeoning force of the New World: American imperialism.
