The Pope and Napoleon the Third (1860)

The Pope and Napoleon III is a historical book written by J.H. Gervais in 1860. The book focuses on the relationship between Pope Pius IX and Napoleon III, the Emperor of France during the mid-19th century. It explores the complex political and religious dynamics between the two leaders, including their conflicting views on the role of the Catholic Church in France and Europe. The book also delves into the events leading up to the French invasion of Rome in 1859, which resulted in the Pope's loss of temporal power and the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy. Through extensive research and analysis, Gervais provides a detailed account of the political and religious tensions that defined this period of European history. The Pope and Napoleon III is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the political and religious history of 19th-century Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
