	Louis XII (0312161735) BAUMGARTNER - Palgrave Macmillan
		Louis XII ranks as one of those historical figures who is perhaps best measured by the praise of his contemporaries, who voted him "Father of the People" for his stabilizing influence upon the French body politic.
		Baumgartner's work is a blend of biographic narrative and academic study that chronicles his main achievements - particularly his restoration of the French economy and tax system - as well as the several disasters of his reign, notably the botched invasion of Italy and the diplomatic entanglement with Milan.
		Perhaps the author has been kinder to Louis XII than he deserved; this king's repeated aggression in Italy brought France to the brink of disaster.
