description: This is the story of the glamorous French Empress who escaped from a vengeful mob in 1870 and spent the next fifty years in exile in England. With a broad brush approach to the political events it shows her life and times from a different angle, exploring subjects often relegated to mere footnotes. Aided by the increased digitalisation of sources which produced many new and interesting discoveries, the book features 53 images of the important people and places.
