In this illuminating work, Robert B. Holtman emphasizes Napoleon’s role as a revolutionary innovator whose influence touched nearly every aspect of European political and social life and has extended even to our own times.
ROBERT B. HOLTMAN was a professor of history emeritus at Louisiana State University and the author of Napoleonic Propaganda.
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.’
~European Studies in Review
A sober, well-written, critical inventory of Napoleon’s work and lasting achievements. . . . Interesting and valuable for the original approach.
