As well as portraying the delicate and dangerous diplomatic manoeuvring during the nine months of the conference, the author also goes behind the scenes to tell the engrossing story of the private lives of the protagonists. Three beautiful women were loved by the great men at the congress; all three were as keenly political as they were glamorous.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with NO MAJOR FAULTS, in protected dust jacket.*
