Interesting -- sounds like what I'm reading right now, The Final Act: The Roads to Waterloo by Gregor Dallas, which also combines attention to diplomatic historical detail with some excellent descriptions of parties and the city cultures of London, Paris, & Vienna.
I have published four novels and two academic books; forthcoming in 2014 is "Reading Style: A Life in Sentences." I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
