Excerpt from Napoleon's Navigation System

Historians, romancers, and tacticians for a century have been telling of the meteoric career of the Corsican and the general ship of the Little Corporal. Disproportionately little attention has been given, meanwhile, to studying the many-sided statesman ship of Bonaparte, the F irst Consul, and of Napoleon, Emperor of the F rench. Happily recent years have seen a growing ten deney to a juster emphasis upon the governmental policies and institutional developments of the Napoleonic régime. Par ticularly is this true of the manifold aspects of social and economic polity. Rare indeed, and like voices crying in the wilderness, had been they who spoke with authority upon such topics prior to 1890. Then came the work of men like Admiral Mahan in America, J. Holland Rose in England, Lumbroso in Italy, and especially scholars like M. Charles Schmidt of the French National Archives, and Prof. Paul Darmstaedter of Germany, to whose pioneering labors are due numerous investigations in the field during the past decade.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a new perspective on Napoleon's strategy to weaken Britain's economic dominance by establishing a continental blockade, which the author argues was in fact a sophisticated European Navigation System. The author contends that previous evaluations of the Berlin Decree, which established the blockade, have largely failed to grasp its true significance because they have not recognized that the Berlin Decree was simply one piece of a complex of measures designed to reshape European trade flows in France's favor. The author maintains that Napoleon's economic plan failed not because of inherent flaws or British resistance but because its architect, Napoleon himself, became overambitious and distracted, and turned his focus elsewhere. The book's insights offer a fresh interpretation of one of Napoleon's most consequential policies.
