Unlike much Napoleonic literature that features the personality and foreign policy of the emperor, \u003ci\u003eFrance under Napoleon\u003c\/i\u003e describes the condition of France and the French people during the fifteen years immediately following their great revolution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eApplying the methods of the new social history (\u003ci\u003eAnnales\u003c\/i\u003e school), Louis Bergeron covers the political, administrative, social, economic, and cultural facets of the First Empire. He begins with the domestic program and institutions under Napoleon and the fervor of the new chief of state as he sought to establish a coherent, efficient, and thoroughly controlled regime. Bergeron then examines the opposition to his system and the reasons behind the imperfect realization of his ideal. It discusses population and demographic trends, social structure, and economic activity--all of which eluded Napoleon's grasp.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLouis Bergeron\u003c\/b\u003e (1929-2014) was director of studies at the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales in Paris and the author of many books. \u003cb\u003eR.
