This is a lively, infoHe rmative, often witty account of how Maximilian, a Habsburg prince off the mid-19th Century, was suckered by France's Napoleon III into becoming "Emperor" of Mexico with support from French and other European troops. France wanted a big stronghold in North America, and the well-intentioned but naive Maximilian was their instrument. After three rocky years, he was ousted by the Liberals under Benito Juarez, tried and executed. France's plot failed, and Mexico went through years of revolving dictatorships. All in all, a very good read.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
