He examines the chain reactions resulting from increased wealth; various aspects of slavery, especially manumission and the cost of freedom; the curious phenomenon of the political power wielded by eunuchs at court; and in the final chapter

Drawing on thousands of previously unreleased documents, secret audio recordings, private diaries, and other information recently made a

But it is an impressively researched and important story.��David Fromkin, author of Europe�s Last SummerVienna, 1814 is an evocative and brilliantly researched account of the most audacious and extravagant peace conference in modern European history.

Major questions loomed: What would be done with Fran
