A review by michareads
Joseph Fouche : Portret van een politicus by Stefan Zweig

adventurous dark informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book is neither a detailed account of the French revolution and its aftermath (keep your wikipedia tabs open), nor an elaborate biography of the historical figure Joseph Fouché (it even recommends other works).

Instead, Zweig, in his typical manner, tells a riveting story filled with political intrigue and a Machiavellianist protagonist.

A gripping book about an unbelievable history.
