Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Louis Napoleons story is certainly remarkable. Alan Strauss-Schom tells it with brio in The Shadow Emperor This is a boldly revisionist biography For all the corruption and repression that marked his reign, Louis Napoleon may have done more for France than his famous uncle.

Louis-Napoleon completely revolutionized the state and the economy, but amid gross financial scandals. His expansion of the French Empire was praised by the French military and resisted by the socialists. He expanded the railways to rival England's; created new transoceanic steamship lines and a modern navy; introduced a new banking sector supported by seemingly unlimited venture capital; and even oversaw the creation of the first large department stores.
