This volume traces Napoleon's rise to power and also examines the events before and after the coup d'état of 1799. Recent research has suggested that the Bonapartist dictatorship was by no means a foregone conclusion, the inevitable outcome of a corrupt and discredited revolutionary regime. There is now greater awareness of the difficulties faced by the Directory (as the constitutional system was called after 1795) in steering a middle course between royalism and jacobinism and also a greater recognition of its achievements. By the time that Napoleon crowned himself Emperor in 1804, the Revolution was effectively over. An ingenious balance had been struck between democracy and authority, between hierarchy and equality, in short between the old order and the new, a synthesis which disarmed radicals and attracted conservatives. This hybrid of revolution and tradition only lasted for a further decade in France, but it exerted a profound influence over nineteenth-century political culture. The Napoleonic episode thus repays careful attention at a deeper level than the personal and militaryheroics that usually predominate, as this study will demonstrate.

“A good overview of the forces, their tactics, mistakes (and lies in official reports)” of the two pivotal campaigns that cemented Napoleon’s dictatorship (Paper Wars). In a tense, crowded thirty-three days in the autumn of 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte organized a coup and made himself dictator of France. Yet his position was precarious. He knew that France would accept his rule only if he gained military victories that brought peace. James Arnold, in this detailed and compelling account, describes the extraordinary campaigns that followed. At Marengo, Bonaparte defeated the Austrians and his fellow general Jean Moreau beat the combined Austrian and Bavarian armies at Hohenlinden. These twin campaigns proved decisive. Bonaparte’s dictatorship was secure and his enemies across Europe were forced in a 15-year struggle to overthrow him.

Napoleon Bonaparte's ascent to power was meteoric. Ever the outsider and regarded by many as an upstart, his extraordinary determination, courage, and tactical skill saw him rise from ordinary beginnings to become the greatest military commander of his age. A brigadier general by the age of 24, crowned Emperor of France by age 35, he had conquered most of the countries of Europe by the time he was 45. Napoleon's maxims for conduct on the battlefield gives a fascinating insight into his knowledge, intuition, and resourcefulness. His ideas have shaped the opinion of generations of military strategists, politicians, and business entrepreneurs, and are still relevant today. The translation, by British army officer Colonel George D'Aguilar, contains notes exploring the background to Napoleon's theories of war and the leaders who inspired him. This edition also contains an historical introduction by Frederick C. Schneid, Professor of History at High Point University, North Carolina.

The rise to power of Napoleon Bonaparte is a riveting saga of ambition, military genius, and political prowess that irrevocably altered the path that European history would take in the future. Napoleon was born in Corsica in 1769, and his rise from obscurity in his Corsican family to the highest levels of power in France is a tale of unyielding resolve and brilliant strategic planning. Napoleon's enrollment in the French Royal Military School in Brienne marked the beginning of his military career, which he began at a young age. During the turbulent time of the French Revolution, he ascended through the ranks thanks to his outstanding skills on the battlefield, which rapidly marked him apart from his peers. In the year 1799, he made the most of the chance to execute a coup d'état, which effectively brought an end to the revolutionary government and ultimately led to his appointment as First Consul. There was more to Napoleon's rise to power than that. In 1804, he proclaimed himself Emperor of France, which was a symbolic act that marked a transition away from revolutionary ideals and toward a more authoritarian form of government. His goal extended beyond the confines of France, as he intended to construct a broad European empire that would be under his rule. Napoleon's military prowess was one of the defining characteristics that contributed to his rise to power. It is said that his campaigns are legendary because they were distinguished by a string of wins that demonstrated his tactical skill and his ability to inspire his soldiery. The Battle of Austerlitz, which took place in 1805, and the Battle of Jena-Auerstedt, which took place in 1806, are two of the most notable examples of his strategic brilliance, which earned him the reputation of one of the most accomplished military commanders in the history of the world. The extent of Napoleon's conquests was unbounded. It was during the Napoleonic Wars, which were a series of wars that lasted from 1803 until 1815, that he was able to expand his sphere of influence throughout Europe. Nations were destroyed by his marching forces, and he redrawn the geography of the continent to accommodate his aspirations to become an imperial power. Furthermore, the Napoleonic Code, which was a comprehensive legal system that was implemented during this time period, further strengthened his influence on the regions that were under his rule. One of the most significant accomplishments of Napoleon's conquests was the establishment of the French Empire, which, at its peak, encompassed the whole region from Spain to Russia. The realization of his dream of a unified Europe ruled by France came to pass, but only for a short period of time. In spite of this, the only thing that could compare to the splendor of his empire was the difficulties it encountered, which included the unrelenting opposition of other European nations who were eager to put a stop to his growth.

The first volume of a groundbreaking and innovative popular biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, one of history's most complex and charismatic leaders 'Remarkable ... a satisfying, psychologically convincing account of Napoleon's early years and ascent to power. Even-handed and authoritative, this fascinating and highly enjoyable book will be an eye opener even to those who think they know the subject well' Sunday Times 'We are clearly in the presence of what will be a monumental work ... meticulously researched and well-written' Andrew Roberts, Literary Review Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power was neither inevitable nor smooth; it was full of mistakes, wrong turns and pitfalls. During his formative years his identity was constantly shifting, his character ambiguous and his intentions often ill-defined. He was, however, highly ambitious, and it was this ruthless drive that advanced his career. This book examines the extraordinary evolution of Napoleon's character and the means by which at the age of thirty he became head of the most powerful country in Europe and skilfully fashioned the image of himself that laid the foundation of the legend that endures to this day.

In nineteenth-century France, authorities feared the inflammatory power of the stage, but sought to exploit it as an effective means of propaganda. The focus of this book is on theatrical representations of Napoléon Bonaparte during France’s Second Empire (1850-1870), a period marked by the impérialisation of the capital through the renaming of streets and public spaces. Many heroes of the revolution and the wars of the Empire appeared with Napoléon in these plays. Several featured members of his family, Joséphine and her son, Eugène, the actor Talma, or the fortune teller Lenormand. Already popular during the July Monarchy, these Napoléon-themed dramas enjoyed a renewed interest with Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte’s rise to power. Although based on historical fact, they were subject to prior government censorship, as were all dramatic works at that time, and were often substantially modified. Intended for a predominantly working-class audience, these historical dramas were carefully revised by the censors so that the narrative they presented strengthening the ties between the First and Second Empires and removed any suggestion of regime change. These dramas highlight the central role theatrical works about Napoléon played in shaping collective memory and myths of national identity during the Second Empire.

The second volume of a new and comprehensive biography about one of the history's most charismatic leaders 'a very fine book, which explains Napoleon's extraordinary rise to power and equally meteoric fall, with great erudition, skill and verve' Spectator 'Exemplary scholarship ... A book of meticulous research and beautifully detailed descriptions of Napoleon's military adventures, brings home the full horrific cost of the march on Russia' New Statesman 'Napoleon's legend is so persistent that it confounds the historical reality in the popular imagination. He himself contributed much towards the construction of his own myth, from his youth even until after he fell from power, when, while in exile, he dictated his memoirs to a group of disciples who took down his every word in the hope that his version of history would prevail. Such were Napoleon's skills as a chronicler that much of the legend is still unquestioningly accepted...' This second volume of Philip Dwyer's outstanding biography sheds further fresh light on one of the great figures of modern history. After a meteoric rise, a military-political coup in 1799 established Napoleon Bonaparte in government, aged just thirty. This meticulously researched study examines the man in power, from his brooding obsessions and capacity for violence, to his ability to inspire others and realise his visionary ideas. One of the first truly modern politicians, Napoleon skilfully fashioned the image of himself that laid the foundation of the legend that endures to this day; Philip Dwyer's ambitious, definitive work separates myth from history to offer us anew one of history's most charismatic and able leaders.

A short history of Napoleon's rise to power. Napoleon led the French Army into incredible victories over Austria, Italy and Egypt. As he was doing this France was in the mists of their Revolution 1789-1799. Napoleon returned to France in 1797 as a hero and looked to, by many, to stop the terrible violence that was taken place in France at the time. So, Napoleon organizes a coup d'etat overthrowing France's incompetent bicameral legislature by going to the France's House of Elders and offering his services. When a riot ensued by those opposing Napoleon's offer to rule, he orders the Army in and the House dispels. The next Elders meeting comprised of only those who supported Napoleon. They voted to make him First Consul and later proclaim him emperor."
