Synopsis
The French Revolution and the violence it unleashed terrified the ruling classes of Europe. After Napoleon's defeat in 1815, the victors united to restore the old order by any means necessary. This ground-breaking history shows how, from London to Moscow, they resorted to the use of secret police and the bayonet to ferret out real or imagined conspirators and crush subversion. Chilling and often darkly comic, it charts the development of the modern state and its covert organs of control.

Review
'Vivid, terrifying and often quite funny ... an interesting take on 1848 ... this superbly drawn story is full of painful allegories' The Times 'Splendidly provocative ... perceptive and often amusing ... full of arresting details and sharp asides ... Adam Zamoyski writes like a dancer at a court ball: gracious, patrician, masterful, sure-footed ... Phantom Terror is a thumping great pleasure to read ... history at its best' Spectator 'Scintillating and original' Economist 'We know the Napoleonic era well, but the Decades after Napoleon's fall are often neglected. Adam Zamoyski covers those years, showing how fear of revolution caused the autocrats of Europe to repress freedom on an unprecedented scale' Simon Sebag Montefiore, Mail on Sunday 'Zamoyski's prose is unfailingly sleek' Literary Review 'A memorably impressive and important book. 'Phantom Terror' is scholarly, well-written and enjoyable, with fascinating insights on almost every page of this tour d'horizon of reactionary Europe in the revolutionary age' Orlando Figes 'Both very enjoyable and timely. Elegantly written, its subject matter is the response of governments across Europe to the violent eruption of the French Revolution and its aftermath' Jeremy Jennings, Standpoint
