Karl Marx called it 'one of the most monstrous enterprises in the annals of international history'. This seems unfair to the young Hapsburg royals who travel to Mexico in 1864 to become its emperor and empress. Highly liberal by the standards of the day and with the best of intentions they will face a terrible struggle to rule and (ultimately) to try to survive. Edward Shawcross has written one of the best books I have read in years. It is simply a fantastic page turner. And Edward is also a hugely entertaining speaker as you will find out as you listen to the podcast. This episode is part 1 and takes us up to the point the young couple arrive in Mexico. Enjoy!

The Last Emperor of Mexico with Edward Shawcross

In a new podcast for the History Reclaimed Book Prize Dr Edward Shawcross tells us how he turned his PHD thesis into a book focusing on one of the most extraordinary stories in history, the execution of Ferdinand Maximilian.

Dr Edward Shawcross: The Last Emperor of Mexico

Presented by: Rocio Carvajal Food anthropologist, culture &amp; gastronomy educator. Episode 78 In this episode I discuss my guest’s new book: “The Last Emperor of Mexico: The Dramatic Story of the Habsburg Archduke Who Created a Kingdom in the New World.” This work is so much more than the story of Maximilian I, it really captures the zeitgeist of a bygone era that is fundamental in the history of Mexico with deep connections to the global geopolitical dynamics of the 19th c. We cross examine the historical events and view under different perspectives the motives, interests and consequences of this bizarre and fascinating episode that brought together Europe’s most important political forces and the ambitions of Mexican conservatives that paved the way for the short ill lived Habsburg empire of Mexico. ……………………………………………………………… Links mentioned on this episode:  Follow Dr. Shawcross on twitter:  https://twitter.com/EdwardShawcross Get the book: https://amzn.to/35oTOgw  Listen to this episode on the history of 5 de Mayo: https://tinyurl.com/yb3ausw4 Read these articles by Dr. Shawcross:  https://perspectivemag.co.uk/reputations-ferdinand-maximilian/ https://tinyurl.com/yctq964x   ………………………………………………………………  Get my books:  shorturl.at/kuT34 Book a food tour in Puebla! https://tinyurl.com/ydkthwfu Newsletter: eepurl.com/cV5AsH Twitter: twitter.com/chipotlepodcast  + https://twitter.com/rocio_carvajalc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rocio.carvajalc/ email: hello@passthechipotle.com web: https://tinyurl.com/yehq8xyq Youtube: https://tinyurl.com/y9ot9a57 🎧 Check my other podcast: Hungry Books https://anchor.fm/hungry-books
