Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The book starts with a quote that attempts to set up the book as timely, relevant, and necessary. The body of the book's text is a treatise on the Second French Empire's expedition to Mexico, an event in the 1860s, and the author's strong condemnation of it. The author draws parallels between the subject and events nearly 50 years prior, in the early 19th century, to underscore what is seen as a historical pattern of repeated overreach. The author's arguments rail against the hypocrisies, hubris, and oppressive tactics of a powerful leader seeking to reshape the world with their preferred model of government. This historical critique is positioned in the context of the author's expressed ideals around democracy, egalitarianism, and national self-determination. The author's ultimate point is that there is no honor, benefit, or efficacy to be found in a policy of forced occupation and the imposition of foreign rule and culture upon other peoples. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
