About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked din a bright, tight and square binding. Only defect is some light foxing on the edges on the text block. DJ is not price clipped. Only defects are a small store label on the front DJ flap, and a small area of sticker residue on the front DJ. Volume appears unused. From the front and back DJ flaps, "Alan Schom's 'One Hundred Days' is a detailed chronicle of the events that led up to the final fall of Napoleon., and a complex vivid portrait of the personalities that surrounded him: the icily charming and self-serving Talleyrand; the brutal, fickle police minister Fouche, who helped form the first modern police state; the brace but vacillating Ney; the dogged Davout, the emperor's scapegoat; and Napoleon's underestimated foes, Arthur Wellesley. Duke of Wellington, and the aging yet pugnacious Marshal Blucher."
