Review:
'A pleasure to read and unlikely to be replaced for many years.' Philip Ziegler, The Times; 'Excellent ... a major biographical achievement, a notable contribution to our understanding of this still enigmatic monarch.' Robert Blake, Spectator.
About the Author:
Alan Palmer was head of History at Highgate School, London for nineteen years before retiring early to concentrate on historical writing and research. He is the author of more than three dozen works: narrative histories; biographies; historical dictionaries ir reference books. His main interests are in the Napoleonic era, nineteenth century diplomacy, the First World War and Eastern Europe, although his Northern Shores is a history of the Baltic Sea and its peoples from earliest times to 2004. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1980.
Of Alan Palmer, Sir John Keegan has written, ' Alan Palmer writes the sort of history that dons did before ''accessible'' became an academic insult. It is cool, rational, scholarly, literate.'
Faber Finds is reissuing a number of his titles: Alexander I, The Gardeners of Salonika, The Chancelleries of Europe, The East End, The Decline and Fall of the Ottoman Empire, The Lands Between, Metternich, Twilight of the Habsburgs.

Book Description hardcover, 6¼" x 9½", with dust jacket 488 pages With twelve pages of half-tone illustrations. Alexander I, ruler of Russia for the first quarter of the nineteenth century, refused to make peace with the French when Moscow fell in 1812 and waged war on Napoleon as Anti-Christ; he sought to bind Europe's sovereigns in a Holy Alliance in 1815; and as Emperor, he pretended to die at the remote southern seaport (Taganrog) in the winter of 1825. In this meticulously-researched biography, Alan Palmer presents Alexander as both a man and a sovereign. As packed book weighs 1½kgs (3¼lbs), slightly higher than usual shipping costs may apply. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, and barcode. GOOD book in FAIR unclipped dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 40401
