Phantom Crowd by Harding Bertita

Phantom Crown by Harding Bertita Bobbs-Merrill, 1934, lst Hardback in good condition, NO dust jacket. Text is clean and unmarked, binding tight, some tanning of pages due to age and paper used. Cover shows slight signs of wear and is clean over all. This is the story of Maximilian the ill-fated Emperor of Mexico. This is a true story of tragic manipulation, a man who only wanted to do what he thought was right and a country where the people oppressed crossed at the time of revolution. Shot by firing squad in 1867, his wife lived on made insane by the events until 1927. If you're interested in Mexican history this is a great read. B&W photos, biography, index, 381 pages.
