The Wars Against Napoleon : Debunking The Myth Of The Napoleonic Wars

Attribution
Michel Franceschi and Ben Weider ; translated by Jonathan M. House
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Savas Beatie, 2007
Description
Popular and scholarly history presents a one-dimensional image of Napoleon as an inveterate instigator of war who repeatedly sought large-scale military conquests. Lavishly illustrated, persuasively argued, and carefully illustrated with original maps and battle diagrams, The Wars Against Napoleon presents a courageous and uniquely accurate historical idea that will surely arouse vigorous debate within the international historical community. REVIEWS “Weider and Franceschi’s outstanding new “must read” book shatters the myth of the so-called “Napoleonic Wars” and compels a long-overdue reevaluation of the image of Napoleon as simply a “war loving conqueror.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Staging Empire : Napoleon, Ingres, And David

Attribution
Todd Porterfield and Susan L. Siegfried
Publication Details
Book, Pennsylvania State University Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
Staging Empire focuses on two landmark paintings that celebrated Napoleon’s coronation: Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s Napoleon I on His Imperial Throne (1806) and Jacques-Louis David’s Le Sacre (1805-7). Coronation pictures may seem to be all about the past, but they were produced to guarantee a future of empire whose military, media, and geopolitical practices are still with us today. Traditionally accepted as a document of the coronation of Napoleon and Josephine, Le Sacre is instead shown to be the most important barometer of the Empire’s propagandistic strategies.
