Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean-Paul Bertaud is the leading French authority on the army of the French Revolution, and La Revolution armee is the authortative treatment of the firest great national, patriotic, revolutionary, and mass army, engaged in what has been called the first total war: that between revolutionary France and the other European powers. The book is a successful attempt to integrate military history with social and political history and thereby to depict the army as a "school for the republic" that by subtle changes after 1795 made way for the Napoleonic regime. The distinguished historian R.R. Palmer presents the first translation of this work into English in a volume that will quickly become indispensable for French historians, historical sociologists, and political scientists interested in armies and revolutions. The theme of the book is suggested by its French title: "the Revolution armed." That is, the book is primarily about the Revolution, and specifically the Revolution in its relation to armed force. This revolution, and this army, activated the idea of the citizen-soldier exemplified by the ancient classical republics, and favored by Jean-jacques Rousseau and other eighteenth-century thinkers, but never before realized on so large and portentous a scale as in France in the 1790s. Jean-Paul Bertaud is Professor of Modern History at the University of Paris I (the Sorbonne). He has published widely in France on aspects of the French Revolution. R.R. Palmer is Professor Emeritus at Yale University and author of numerous books, including the two-volume The Age of the Democratic Revolution (1959 and 1964), Twelve Who Ruled (1941), and The Improvement of Humanity: Education and the French Revolution (1985), all published by Princeton University Press. He has translated many works from the French, most recently The Two Tocquevilles, Father and Son: Herve and Alexis de TOcqueville on the Coming of the French Revolution (Princeton, 1987). Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le 18 Brumaire est le commencement et la fin d'une histoire ; il marque l'accession au pouvoir de Bonaparte et l'épilogue provisoire d'une Révolution française qui n'en finit pas de s'achever. Depuis 1789, elle a parcouru tout le cycle des formes politiques connues pour s'enliser dans une impasse dont elle ne sait plus comment sortir : la République, souillée par la Terreur, est devenue impossible; la monarchie, synonyme de contre-révolution, l'est autant. C'est donc au général corse, devenu un héros national sur les champs de bataille, qu'il revient de l'en sortir : fils de la Révolution, il en incarne la gloire militaire sans avoir à en assumer les excès ; né à la périphérie du royaume, il a assez de proximité avec ses compatriotes pour comprendre les passions révolutionnaires et assez de distance pour ne pas y succomber. Lui seul paraît capable de réconcilier les deux peuples et les deux histoires que la Révolution a séparés. Mais pour comprendre la réussite de son coup d'audace, dont ce livre restitue le cours haletant, c'est le régime du Directoire, ses incuries et son échec, que l'auteur interroge aussi à frais nouveaux. Brumaire est un vrai coup d'État, mais singulier : sans violence ou presque, sans victimes, sans proscrits, entouré d'un consentement tel qu'il sera longtemps considéré comme une élection que les circonstances avaient privée des formes légales. Et même s'il inaugure un régime plutôt éphémère, l'irruption de Bonaparte dans l'histoire révolutionnaire imprimera durablement sa marque sur notre légendaire national et l'esprit de nos institutions.

Book excerpt: Le coup d'Etat du 18 brumaire ne s'est pas fait sans mal. L'ambition de Napoléon n'aurait pas suffi. Il fallait encore le savoir-faire et la ruse politique de son frère Lucien, et le " foutez-moi tout ce monde-là dehors ! " de Murat, pour que le Consulat voie le jour. Les 18 et 19 brumaire An VIII, Bonaparte réussit son coup d'Etat grâce au renfort des baïonnettes. Il rêvait d'une approbation unanime des représentants du peuple, mais cela ne s'est pas fait tout seul. Lucien Bonaparte, son frère, bien plus habile, pourra dire en ouvrant la dernière séance des Cinq-Cents, qui marquera la suppression du Directoire et la création du Consulat : " Si la liberté naquit dans le jeu de Paume à Versailles, elle fut consolidée dans l'Orangerie de Saint-Cloud ; les constituants de 89 furent les pères de la Révolution mais les législateurs de l'An VIII furent les pères et les pacificateurs de la Patrie.

Download or read book France under the Directory written by Martyn Lyons and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1975-09-25 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 9 thermidor Year 2, Robespierre fell; on18 brumaire Year 8, a coup d'état brought Bonaparte to power. This book demonstrates that the interval between these two momentous events was also of crucial importance. Using the findings of recent research, it presents a balanced appraisal of the thermidorean and directorial regimes to the English student. For Jacobin sympathizers thermidor and the Directory represented the betrayal of the revolutionary idea; for Bonapartist propagandists it represented chaos and corruption, and the darker the Directory could be painted, the more Bonaparte's reputation would be flattered. Dr Lyons attempts to dispose of these myths. He stresses the Directory's successes as well as its failures, and emphasizes elements of continuity which link it both with the Jacobin regime and with the Consulate. The regime inherited a heavy burden of war, inflation and food shortages, yet it remained revolutionary in its Republicanism, its anticlericalism, and its desire to carry the fruits of the Revolution to the rest of Europe. At the same time it laid the foundations of financial stability and administrative efficiency on which Bonaparte was to build.

Download or read book Napoleon and His Collaborators written by Isser Woloch and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2002 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of Napoleon, no names of trusty right-hand men jump to mind. Woloch (history, Columbia U., New York City) sets out to correct this in his study, which introduces the men that aided Napoleon's creation of a dictatorship. He does this through a series of narratives of key events and themes. He concludes with chapters on the routines of governance; difficult issues for Napoleon's liberal servitors of the un-liberal practices of preventive detention and censorship; and what happened to his minions following the Empire's collapse, the Bourbon Restoration, and Napoleon's return from Elba in 1815.

Download or read book Napoleon Bonaparte and the Legacy of the French Revolution written by Martyn Lyons and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1994-06-28 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Napoleonic period cannot be interpreted as a single historical 'block'. Bonaparte had many different persona: the Jacobin, the Republican, the reformer of the Consulate, the consolidator of the Empire and the 'liberal' of the Hundred Days. The emphasis here will be on Napoleon as the heir and executor of the French Revolution, rather than on his role as the liquidator of revolutionary ideals. Napoleon will be seen as part of the Revolution, preserving its social gains, and consecrating the triumph of the bourgeoisie. The book will steer away from the personal and heroic interpretation of the period. Instead of seeing the era in terms of a single man, the study will explore developments in French society and the economy, giving due weight to recent research on the demographic and social history of the period 1800-1815.
