Description (from Amazon)Les 18 et 19 Brumaire an VIII, Bonaparte et Sieyès prennent le pouvoir.

Six semaines plus tard, Bonaparte est le seul maître de l'exécutif et affirme avoir fini la Révolution.

Comment pareille opération a-t-elle réussi?

Les échecs du Directoire l'avaient-ils rendue inévitable?

Quels furent ses principaux protagonistes et de quelles complicités purent-ils bénéficier?

Comment Bonaparte parvint-il à éliminer Sieyès?

Loin d'être une opération presque manquée, la journée de Brumaire ne fut-elle pas au contraire, comme l'a écrit Malaparte, "le premier coup d'état moderne"
My review: 3.5/5interesting review of the social and political context that is often ignored when considering Napoleon Bonaparte's accession to power in France- and the ensuing wars

to be complemented by Smith's "The Bonapartes: The History of a Dynasty" (https://www.librarything.com/work/1634916/book/117026777)

beyond the battles, communication and relationship-building, and a surprisingly modern management of public opinion through publication, propaganda, and image/visibility building

from my business perspective, useful to extract few memorable episodes to spice up meetings, workshops, and presentations
