Napoleon and His Empire - Annotated by P Dwyer & Alan Forrest (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Napoleon and His Empire brings together some of the world's leading Napoleonic historians, and is born out of a reflection on the Empire two hundred years after its foundation in May 1804. It provides a timely overview of current trends in research and historiography. It not only revisits traditional themes like Napoleon's revolutionary credentials, the plebiscite for the Empire and the Continental System, but also looks at new research on questions of citizenship, gender, education and local government." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0703/2006044374-d.htm
