Does anyone know of any book or visual media that explains in some detail the Congress of Viena after the napoleonic wars. I have found previous sources online, but they usually only focus on the major parts of the treaties, like Germany or even Italy. I know that multiple subjects were the matter of that congress and so I am looking for something that, in the spirit of Historia Civilis' videos, digs deeper in some more overlooked aspects of the Viena peace treaties.

Thanks

Mark Jarrett's The Congress of Vienna and its legacy (IB Tauris, London 2013) has received favourable reviews and is rated fairly in-depth (522 pages), though it covers the pre-1814 background and post-1815 multilateral efforts down to Greek and Belgian independence, so it may not be quite what you're after.

Thank you. I'll give it a look.

You're welcome: I hope you can find more sources. I was surprised that there don't seem seem to be other substantial recent treatments - it seems an odd oversight, especially given the bicentenary only 8 years ago.
