Metternich: Councillor of Europe (Phoenix Giants)

Metternich: Councillor of Europe (Phoenix Giants)

by Adam Palmer (Author)

Synopsis

As a man Metternich emerges as very different from the austere figure of popular imagination. Worldly, urbane and witty, he was a connoisseur of good living and enjoyed a sequence of scandalous love affairs and as much at home in Paris as Vienna.
