Maximilian Update: An Invaluable Resource for Mexico's Second Empire / French Intervention

A new book, invaluable for anyone researching Mexico's Second Empire or "French Intervention," has just been published in Spanish by leading researchers Konrad Ratz and Amparo Gómez Tepexicuapan, Los viajes de Maximiliano en México (1864-1867). Read more about it over on my occasional blog, "Maximilian and Carlota," where I share my research from The Last Prince of the Mexican Empire, my novel set during the period-- as well as other tidbits.
