Reunion of Lorraine to France Volume 3 by Joseph d'Haussonville

REUNION OF LORRAINE WITH FRANCE — VOLUME 3

Louis XIV reigns over Europe — but Lorraine resists. Joseph d'Haussonville traces the extraordinary destiny of Charles V Leopold, the "Duke without a duchy," forced into exile but never defeated, and the complex alliance games between France, Austria, and the Ottoman Empire that will determine Lorraine's fate. A fascinating volume on the Europe of the emerging Enlightenment.
