The biography delves into the life of Charles-Maurice, Prince de Talleyrand, a complex statesman known for his remarkable political acumen and moral contradictions. As a master opportunist, he navigated five different regimes, balancing personal gain with significant contributions to France. His journey took him from revolutionary supporter to exile in England and the U.S., before returning to serve under Napoleon and at the Congress of Vienna. Duff Cooper captures Talleyrand's vibrant personality and intellect in this classic account.
