"Language is given to man to conceal his thoughts" - this is what the most famous diplomat in world history once told the Spanish envoy when the latter reminded him of a promise he had not kept. In his new book, Johannes Willms traces the enigmatic genius of the man who, with inimitable suppleness, managed to assume a leading role six times in six different regimes and to steer a completely defeated France through the Congress of Vienna without the slightest cession of territory.
