| सारांश: | Like many other major events in world history, the Louisiana Purchase is a fascinating mix of destiny and individual energy and creativity... This lively book by noted historian Thomas Fleming delivers the answers. Taking us behind the scenes in Thomas Jefferson's raw "federal village" of Washington, D.C., and inside the duplicitous world of Napoleonic Paris, Fleming shows how Bonaparte haters in Spain, the French army's disastrous failure in Hati, some wily American negotiating, and Napoleon's resolve to renew his war with "perfidous Albion" led to the momenttous French decision to sell Louisiana-and cede 838000 square miles of land to the United States. |
