Summary: The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire is a sweeping historical novel of Mexico during the short, tragic, at times surreal, reign of Emperor Maximilian and his court. This lush, grand read is based on the true story and illuminates both the cultural roots of Mexico and the political development of the Americas. The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire is a story both sweeping and intimate, of geopolitics, the glamour of royalty, and the grit of military command, of the arrogance of power, the dark labyriths of ambition, and above all, of a child who was not, in the end, a prince, but a little boy who belonged to his parents.
