Review: The Age of Louis XIV (Everyman's Library #780)

User Review - Goodreads

In any country or any agency of any era, we are always faced with a dilemma. We fight for a more open society but can't resist the charm of a hero-like dictator. Louis XIV is an icon of tyranny , as well as Steve Jobs. HIstory repeats itself.
