Editorial Reviews

A sober, well-written, critical inventory of Napoleon’s work and lasting achievements. . . . Interesting and valuable for the original approach.

Choice

An unusually concise and informative account of institutional changes brought about by Napoleon’s rule in both France and Europe. . . . What really distinguishes it from others of its kind is that it seeks to address a problem, namely, ‘What difference it made that it was Napoleon who succeeded to the French Revolution.’
