About this Event
Please note: Booking is Essential
Born into imperial splendour in 1808, Louis-Napoléon – the nephew of Napoléon Bonaparte – grew up far from power after his uncle’s defeat at Waterloo.
Napoléon III’s tale is one of self-belief, political skill and radical innovation – the first person to master mass democratic politics and populism. Yet, despite being one of the most important trailblazers of the nineteenth century, he is largely misunderstood today, if not totally forgotten. Join author Dr Edward Shawcross to find out more.
