Product Information
The French Revolution facilitated the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, but after gaining power he knew that his first task was to end it. In this book William Doyle describes how he did so, beginning with the three large issues that had destabilized revolutionary France: war, religion and monarchy. Doyle shows how, as First Consul of the Republic, Napoleon resolved these issues: first by winning the war, then by forging peace with the Church and finally by making himself a monarch. Napoleon at Peace ends by discussing Napoleon's one great failure - his attempt to restore the colonial empire destroyed by war and slave rebellion. By the time this was abandoned, the fragile peace with Britain had broken down, and the Napoleonic wars had begun.

Reviews
Napoleon at peace may seem a contradiction in terms. Yet paradoxically, as William Doyle shows in this incisive and perfectly judged study, it was the brief period when he was not at war, the fourteen months between March 1802 and May 1803, that saw his most constructive achievement: restoring religious and civil peace to France after a traumatic decade of revolution., William Doyle's enlightening history immerses us in a crucial phase of Napoleon's career and France's past with originality and erudition., Doyle argues incisively that Napoleon's primary aim during the Consulate was political rather than military, as he sought to reverse what he saw as the errors of the Republic--to restore executive authority, curb disorder and insurgency, and resolve the religious schism that was the legacy of the previous decade. This book goes far to explain what Napoleon meant when he talked of his commitment to 'end the revolution'., Napoleon at peace may seem a contradiction in terms. Yet paradoxically, as Doyle shows in this incisive and perfectly judged study, it was the brief period when he was not at war, the fourteen months between March 1802 and May 1803, that saw his most constructive achievement: restoring religious and civil peace to France after a traumatic decade of revolution., Doyle, the distinguished historian of the Old Regime and the French Revolution . . . has turned his attention to Napoleon Bonaparte in this short, readable book. Largely a work of synthesis, the study nonetheless provides a fresh perspective on a man (and a regime) about whom one could reasonably argue we already know pretty much everything. In focusing on the narrow window of time between 1799 and 1802, and avoiding reference to what came later, we gain an understanding of these years that differs significantly from standard accounts, which tend to keep an eye on what Napoleon is most known for: his military prowess. Instead, the book focuses on Bonaparte's efforts to address head-on the divisive issues that had proven impossible to resolve over the course of the previous decade., Napoleon at Peace has interesting and important things to say. . . . Written with the sort of élan that would inspire envy in a squadron of cavalry, Doyle's book provides a scholarly and succinct account of General Bonaparte's unmaking of the French Revolution and his own remaking as an absolute prince., Doyle's enlightening history immerses us in a crucial phase of Napoleon's career and France's past with originality and erudition., Americans have long had a love-hate relationship with Napoleon Bonaparte. . . . There is Napoleon the genius general, whose swift and daring actions enabled him to conquer an entire continent. But there is also the Napoleon who spilled the blood of his men en masse and recklessly challenged all the nations of Europe, only to meet his final defeat at Waterloo. In his recent work, Napoleon at Peace , Bristol University historian William Doyle, a scholar well known for his revisionist histories of France, presents a unique and revolutionary version of Napoleon Bonaparte: that of Napoleon as peacemaker., William Doyle argues incisively that Napoleon's primary aim during the Consulate was political rather than military, as he sought to reverse what he saw as the errors of the Republic--to restore executive authority, curb disorder and insurgency, and resolve the religious schism that was the legacy of the previous decade. This book goes far to explain what Napoleon meant when he talked of his commitment to 'end the revolution'., To be sure, the French Revolution made Napoleon: officer commissions were no longer limited to nobility; the Corsican cultivated his celebrity with new forms of battle-focused propaganda; and, with great foresight, he appealed to le peuple , the emergent and dominating authority in politics. Many posit Napoleon's coup d'état of 18 Brumaire (November 9, 1799) to be the end of the French Revolution, but, as Doyle argues in Napoleon at Peace , the 'popular genera'--to borrow a term from Burke--spent three more years ending the Revolution's wars on European kingdoms, on religion, and on monarchic authority, ultimately gaining one year of true peace before war broke out again in 1803.
