Metternich has a reputation as the epitome of reactionary conservatism. Historians treat him as the archenemy of progress, a ruthless aristocrat who used his power as the dominant European statesman of the first half of the nineteenth century to stifle liberalism, suppress national independence, and oppose the dreams of social change that inspired the revolutionaries of 1848. Wolfram Siemann paints a fundamentally new image of the man who shaped Europe for over four decades. He reveals Metternich as more modern and his career much more forward-looking than we have ever recognized.

Superb and informative
Revisado: 07-16-22
Deeply rooted in freshly accessed sources.
Some phases of history are glaciated by the polemics of the time. Metternich’s career is one.
This book effects a tremendous thaw. All future scholarship will have to contend with it.
