Cette grande synthèse en quatre volumes retrace l'histoire d'un empire et des réactions qu'il suscita en son temps. Empire au sens d'influence d'abord, celle que les idées, la culture et les ambitions hégémoniques françaises exercèrent sur cette époque, dans le prolongement du Grand Siècle, du siècle des Lumières et, bien sûr, de la Révolution. C'est ainsi que l'aventure napoléonienne peut se replacer dans la longue durée. Empire au sens d'institution aussi, en ce que les gouvernements français imaginèrent des structures, avec leur fonctionnement et leur unité politique, afin de conquérir et d'organiser l'espace européen (et au-delà) pour réunir des peuples sous leur bannière par l'adhésion, l'intégration, la domination ou la suzeraineté. Si l'on ne peut échapper à la présence permanente de la volonté, de la personnalité et de l'oeuvre de Napoléon qui ont marqué la période de leur empreinte, et si les développements de ce livre ont pour clef de voûte le coeur mème de l'Empire (dans les deux sens évoqués plus haut), c'est-à-dire la France, il faut aussi raconter - en l'expliquant - un peu plus d'une décennie d'histoire de l'Europe, voire du monde, en dépassant à la fois la figure de l'empereur et les points de vue purement nationaux. Ce troisième volume propose une réflexion transversale sur les principes directeurs, le fonctionnement, les moyens et les buts du régime napoléonien, et une véritable plongée dans la France impériale, qui couvrait la France actuelle, mais aussi la Belgique, la Hollande, le Luxembourg, une partie de l'Allemagne, de l'Italie et des régions balkaniques. Après la description de l'Etat napoléonien, de sa place au coeur de l'organisation sociale et de ses principes de fonctionnement, sont esquissés les contours de la société, de son socle paysan à son économie, en passant par sa structure et le positionnement fluctuant des grands courants politiques. Le livre revient ensuite sur le projet napoléonien pour une Europe qui hésita longtemps entre la soumission et la résistance, en proposant une réflexion sur la géopolitique européenne de l'époque, la diplomatie impériale, ses outils d'unification, ses limites et les forces centrifuges qu'elle déchaîna.

The men who fought in Napoleon’s Grande Armée built a new empire that changed the world. Remarkably, the same men raised arms during the French Revolution for liberté, égalité, and fraternité. In just over a decade, these freedom fighters, who had once struggled to overthrow tyrants, rallied to the side of a man who wanted to dominate Europe. What was behind this drastic change of heart? In this ground-breaking study, Michael J. Hughes shows how Napoleonic military culture shaped the motivation of Napoleon’s soldiers. Relying on extensive archival research and blending cultural and military history, Hughes demonstrates that the Napoleonic regime incorporated elements from both the Old Regime and French Revolutionary military culture to craft a new military culture, characterized by loyalty to both Napoleon and the preservation of French hegemony in Europe. Underscoring this new, hybrid military culture were five sources of motivation: honor, patriotism, a martial and virile masculinity, devotion to Napoleon, and coercion. Forging Napoleon's Grande Armée vividly illustrates how this many-pronged culture gave Napoleon’s soldiers reasons to fight.

Napoleon I employed a myriad of media through which to promote his propaganda and his universal hegemony. Classical Rome - home to the great Caesars - was central to his ambitious visions for the transformation of Paris into an imperial metropolis of unprecedented magnitude. Exploring the interrelationship between antiquity, the display of power and the reinvention of Paris, this volume evaluates how the Roman world and post-antique exploitations of Rome influenced Napoleonic Paris, and how Napoleon promoted his authority by appropriating Rome's triumphal architecture and its associated symbolism to relocate 'Rome' in his own times. The volume shows how consideration of Louis XIV's legacy is crucial to understanding the evolution of Napoleon's fascination with imperial Rome. It also charts Napoleon's manipulation of the populist rhetoric of Republican France (and Rome) as he moved from being a general fighting for the Revolutionary cause to become the 'absolute' ruler of a new empire.

This Very Short Introduction might prove disappointing to those expecting an introduction to a very short man. Dispelling the myth of Napoleon Bonaparte's short stature, as well as the other rumors and legends, David A. Bell provides a concise, accurate, and lively portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte's character and career, situating him firmly in historical context. This book emphasizes the astonishing sense of human possibility--for both good and ill--that Napoleon represented. By his late twenties, Napoleon was already one of the greatest generals in European history. At thirty, he had become absolute master of Europe's most powerful country. In his early forties, he ruled a European empire more powerful than any since Rome, fighting wars that changed the shape of the continent and brought death to millions. Then everything collapsed, leading him to spend his last years in miserable exile in the South Atlantic. Bell underscores the importance of the French Revolution in understanding Napoleon's career. The revolution made possible the unprecedented concentration of political authority that Napoleon accrued, and his success in mobilizing human and material resources for war. Without the political changes brought about by the revolution, Napoleon could not have fought his wars. Without the wars, he could not have seized and held onto power. Though his virtual dictatorship betrayed the ideals of liberty and equality, his life and career were revolutionary.

In this second volume of Philip Dwyer’s authoritative biography on one of history’s most enthralling leaders, Napoleon, now 30, takes his position as head of the French state after the 1799 coup. Dwyer explores the young leader’s reign, complete with mistakes, wrong turns, and pitfalls, and reveals the great lengths to which Napoleon goes in the effort to fashion his image as legitimate and patriarchal ruler of the new nation. Concealing his defeats, exaggerating his victories, never hesitating to blame others for his own failings, Napoleon is ruthless in his ambition for power. Following Napoleon from Paris to his successful campaigns in Italy and Austria, to the disastrous invasion of Russia, and finally to the war against the Sixth Coalition that would end his reign in Europe, the book looks not only at these events but at the character of the man behind them. Dwyer reveals Napoleon’s darker sides—his brooding obsessions and propensity for violence—as well as his passionate nature: his loves, his ability to inspire, and his capacity for realizing his visionary ideas. In an insightful analysis of Napoleon as one of the first truly modern politicians, the author discusses how the persuasive and forward-thinking leader skillfully fashioned the image of himself that persists in legends that surround him to this day.

The essays in Nationalizing Empires challenge the dichotomy between empire and nation state that for decades has dominated historiography. The authors center their attention on nation-building in the imperial core and maintain that the nineteenth century, rather than the age of nation-states, was the age of empires and nationalism. They identify a number of instances where nation building projects in the imperial metropolis aimed at the preservation and extension of empires rather than at their dissolution or the transformation of entire empires into nation states. Such observations have until recently largely escaped theoretical reflection.
