Beschreibung
From a Europe convulsed by revolutions to an assassination plot and international secret diplomacy, to conflict between major European powers which changed the strategic power balance, to the American Civil War, and finally, to Custer's Last Stand, this tumultuous vista is told through the life and times of a comparatively little-known but indomitable revolutionary.This book provides an account of the life of a little-known nineteenth-century revolutionary, Charles do Rudio, narrating the revolutions and insurgencies of nineteenth-century Europe from 1840 to 1870 and of the United States to 1880 in which di Rudio was involved, offering through his biography a unique perspective on the revolts and insurgencies that took place during this period and placing both his life and these revolts in the wider context of European history.A fascinating narrative of a turbulent nineteenth century with analysis - in keeping with the author's speciality - of the revolts and insurgencies, taking the lessons of history relevant to our own times. This book will appeal to all those interested in the Age of Revolution and politics and society in the nineteenth century.
