In this book William Doyle describes how he did so, beginning with the three large issues that had destabilized revolutionary France: war, religion, and monarchy. Doyle shows how, as First Consul of the Republic, Napoleon resolved these issues: first by winning the war, then by forging peace with the Church, and finally by making himself a monarch. 'Napoleon at Peace' ends by discussing Napoleon's one great failure - his attempt to restore the colonial empire destroyed by war and slave rebellion.
