Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of French statesman Adolphe Thiers, beginning with his youth under the Consulate and Empire, and his early ambitions to be a soldier or lawyer. Tracing his life through his work as a journalist, historian, and politician, the author shows how Thiers was a central figure in the events of the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled the Bourbon dynasty and brought Louis-Philippe to power. As a minister in the new regime, he was instrumental in quelling republican uprisings, passing the first laws on public education, and serving twice as Prime Minister during the tumultuous years of the July Monarchy. The author presents Thiers as a man of great ambition, talent, and energy, but also prone to self-deception and unrealizable dreams of military glory and authoritarian stability. Through its exploration of Thiers's life and career, the book offers a fascinating window into the political and social history of France during a period of rapid transformation.
