This excerpt from Robespierres speech in 1794 provides useful insight into the mindset

and goals of the Jacobins, a radical political group that ruled France for a brief period

following the onset of the French Revolution. Napoleon and his party overthrew the

Jacobins to establish the French Empire, and this source aids understanding of why it was

believed that France needed a better government than the Committee of Public Safety.

Baker, Keith Michael, John W. Boyer, and Julius Kirshner, eds. The Old Regime and the French

Revolution. Vol. 7. Chicago: U of Chicago, 1987. Print.

This 1987 publication of the University of Chicago as part of a nine-volume series of

readings on the foundation of western civilization offered a good source of information as

well as an interesting critical approach to the French Revolution and the ideas it

challenged. It was very helpful in describing the feelings of the French people in the

context of the French Revolution, which Napoleon is known to have identified with.

Today 49.11 (1999): 50. World History in Context. Web. 26 Feb. 2017.
 Richard Cavendish offers a succinct yet detailed account of the day Napoleon carried out

his plot to overthrow the Directory in a coup detat and consolidated executive power for

himself.

Devillier, Ron et al., Empires - Napoleon. Directed by David Grubin, Devilier Donegan

Enterprises, 2000, www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrbiSUgZEbg.

Comprised of four parts, each forty-five minutes long, this mini-series covers everything

from Napoleons childhood to his death on Saint Helena. It provided the largest volume

of information needed to construct a basic argument about how Napoleon consolidated

his empire. Receiving this information chronologically, as it was delivered in the series,

not only helped to provide historical context for every event that took place but also made

it easier to understand why certain things in Napoleons life happened they way they did.

The extra commentary from historians featured in the film also helped in interpreting the

information given.

Goodlad, Graham. "Napoleon at War: Secrets of Success, Seeds of Failure? Graham Goodlad

Examines the Controverisal Reputation of Napoleon Bonaparte as a Military

Commander." History Review 65 (2009): 3. World History in Context. Web. 19 Jan. 2017.

This academic journal by Graham Goodlad for History Review in 2009 provides a

thoughtful examination of Napoleons military career. In addition to providing sheer

facts, it also discusses the opposing opinions of historians on certain aspects of

Napoleons career rather than just glorifying it. The information from this source gave me
 some insight as to why Napoleon was so highly regarded by France during his reign as

emperor.

Gros, Antoine-Jean. Napoleon Bonaparte Visiting the Plague-Stricken in Jaffa, March 17,

1799. Muse Du Louvre, Paris, France, 1804.

This 19th century painting of Napoleon visiting plague victims of the city in Jaffa

provided a good example of how Napoleon commissioned artworks of himself that made

him look great and powerful. In this piece, Napoleon is depicted touching the victims,

which is meant to represent the idea that even the plague cant bring any harm to this

invincible man.

ENGLUND, STEVEN. "Napoleon." Europe 1789-1914: Encyclopedia of the Age of Industry

and Empire. Ed. John Merriman and Jay Winter. Vol. 3. Detroit: Charles Scribner's Sons,

2006. 1583-1589. World History in Context. Web. 26 Feb. 2017.

This summarized account of Napoleons life helped to provide extra references to

principal names, facts, and dates that could not be found in other resources.

"Napoleon I Bonaparte." Historic World Leaders. Ed. Anne Commire. Detroit: Gale, 1994.

World History in Context. Web. 26 Feb. 2017.

This more detailed account of Napoleons military career also helped to provide a base of

information on Napoleon. Although the bulk of the information was gathered from the

film, certain pieces of information were either left out or not acknowledged enough to
 where it was necessary to seek it elsewhere. For example, it describes how Napoleon was

able to relinquish control of Egypt and sneak back to France so easily.

"Principal Dates and Time Line of the French Revolution." Principal Dates and Time Line of the

French Revolution. Marxists Internet Archive, n.d. Web. 19 Jan. 2017.

Although I couldnt find any credentials or even an author anywhere in this source, it

gave me basic facts and a general timeline of the French Revolution period, up to the time

Napoleon took his seat as French emperor. This will help me better organize my research

and establish time frames for certain events which could also help in researching

something specific.
