A cogent, comprehensive, and sweeping account of Napoleon’s dismantling of the French Revolution, giving new insight into this critical period of French history.
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 endeavor was abandoned, the fragile peace with Great Britain had broken down, and the Napoleonic wars had begun.

The book is well researched and written. The first part of the book shows the chaos of the Revolution, the numerous coup d’états, and resulting problems of governing. The last part of the book shows how Napoleon, as First Consul of the Republic, resolved the main issues. He did this by winning the war, negotiating peace with the Republic Catholic Church and by making himself Emperor. This is a good book for those wanting to learn more about Napoleon. The reader will enjoy the book more if the reader has a good all-round knowledge of the French Revolution and Napoleon.
I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is six hours and thirty-four minutes. John Lee does an excellent job narrating the book.
