Peter Eicher's original archival research has unearthed remarkable and previously unavailable eye-witness accounts of major historic events, as described in extraordinary dispatches from American diplomats. Spanning the globe and the years from the American Revolution to the Vietnam War, "Emperor Dead" offers a fascinating window on two centuries of world history. Thomas Jefferson, Frederick Douglass, Nathaniel Hawthorne and hundreds of other one-time diplomats depict wars, revolutions, discoveries, royal courts, gold rushes, piracy, slavery, crime, earthquakes, volcanoes, and some very undiplomatic views of prominent historical figures. Every lover of history or travel will find something to enjoy in this unique compilation. Less
