      This book challenges the notion that Napoleon undermined the French Revolution. It argues that, despite his contempt for democracy, he unintentionally preserved the Revolution's ideals, such as legal codes and equality. His military achievements and reforms solidified these principles in France, outlasting his reign and the efforts of his adversaries.
