Metternich: Strategist and Visionary (en Inglés)
Siemann, Wolfram ; Steuer, Daniel
Reseña del libro "Metternich: Strategist and Visionary (en Inglés)"
"A superb biographical portrait and work of historical analysis...Let us hope that it will serve if not as a manual then at least as an inspiration--good statesmanship is needed more than ever."--Brendan Simms, Wall Street Journal "Brilliantly refreshes our understanding of Metternich and his era...[He] was an intellectual in politics of a kind now rare."--Christopher Clark, London Review of Books "Succeed[s] in forcing readers to wonder whether Metternich's efforts to defend an essentially conservative order against populists and terrorists are so different from the struggles that liberal democracies face today."--Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs Metternich is often portrayed as the epitome of reactionary conservatism, a ruthless aristocrat who used his power to stifle liberalism and oppose the dreams of social change that inspired the revolutionaries of 1848. But in this landmark biography, the first to make use of state and family papers, Wolfram Siemann paints a fundamentally new image of the man, revealing him to be more forward-looking and nimble than we have ever recognized. Clemens von Metternich emerged from the horrors of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars committed above all to the preservation of peace. As the Austrian Empire's foreign minister and chancellor he was, as Henry Kissinger has observed, the father of realpolitik. But short of compromising on his overarching goal, Metternich aimed to accommodate liberalism and nationalism. Siemann draws on previously unexamined archives to bring this dazzling man to life. Hailed as a masterpiece of historical writing, Metternich is indispensable for understanding the forces of revolution, reaction, and moderation that shaped the modern world.
