      abstract = {Napoleon was much more than a warlord consumed by vanity  and ambition. He was the very spirit of the militant  Revolution. Virtually everything he did during the fifteen  years of his preponderance was derived from and linked to  the French Revolution. Much of his hold over contemporaries  was his embodiment of the aspirations as well as the  boundless energy of the Revolution. Even his enemies,  foreign and domestic, were fascinated by the man and  uniformly saw him as 'the Revolution on horseback'. He  fought off vengeful reactionary powers long enough for the  Revolution to sink deep and permanent roots in France. The  Allies who finally defeated Napoleon found it impossible to  undo his subversive work - the genii of the Revolution was  out of the bottle, and for good. Through his incessant  table talk and dictated autobiography he focused the  attention of posterity, inculcating his version of himself,  events, and their significance.},
