The Lives of Talleyrand, by Crane Brinton (read 19 Aug 2017) This is a biography but it much prefers to expatiate on argument trying to show that though Talleyrand was not a good man he did good work for France, pointing out how much better France was treated at the Congress of Vienna than Germany was treated in 1919 at Versailles. The author tells of this well and one has to conclude that indeed Talleyrand did a good job for his country at Vienna. That showing is of interest but the many pages of discussion--two long chapters after telling of Talleyrand's death in 1839--make the book not a pleasant reading experience.

The Lives of Talleyrand is a study of the character and actions of the man who so profoundly influenced the destiny of the French Revolution and helped to shape the contours of all Europe as well. The requisite historical background is of course given, but it is the many-faceted personality of Talleyrand which the author has made it his task to portray--and he has done so with discrimination and wit.
