The riot was government-inspired and the courts were crooked. There was little chance of getting the large compensation Pacifico claimed - until Palmerston, the British Foreign Secretary, became involved in a totally justifiable piece of gunboat diplomacy. The author has unearthed a mass of information which finally shows Pacifico to be a victim of prejudice rather than a conman, and has shed new light on a fascinating episode of nineteenth-century European history.Topic: Social Sciences, HistoryRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
