Summary "Le Dix-huit Brumaire" by Jacques Bainville is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the political circumstances and events surrounding the coup d'état of 18 Brumaire, which marked the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte to power in France. It examines the intricate interactions between key figures such as Sieyès, the revolutionary leader, and Bonaparte, whose ambitions and military prowess ultimately reshaped the future of France. The opening of "Le Dix-huit Brumaire" sets the stage for an analysis of the political turmoil in France leading up to the coup. It discusses the disillusionment with the Directoire and the desire among revolutionary factions for a strong leader to restore order. The narrative touches on Sieyès's search for a military leader, the conditions that hinted at an impending coup, and the arrival of Bonaparte from Egypt. The text highlights the significant political maneuvers and alliances that unfolded during this crucial period, laying the groundwork for understanding the complexities of this turning point in French history.
