Rites of Peace
The Fall of Napoleon & the Congress of Vienna
Adam Zamoyski
Traces the epic events following Napoleon's exile in 1814 and the subsequent Treaty of Paris, examining how the eight-month Viennese carnival brought thousands of aristocrats to the Austrian capital and established the Congress of Vienna, an effort that the author contends exacted a substantially high price in exchange for a century of peace. 25,000 first printing.
