Book Review: Collaboration and Resistance in Napoleonic Europe: State-Formation in an Age of Upheaval, c. 1800–1815

after 1815, especially in their new territories. For the millions of Germans living here, the states into which Napoleon had bundled them lacked legitimacy. Hence, their susceptibility to new ideas such as liberalism and nationalism, ideas that made national unification ‘thinkable’. Focus on the institutional not only makes Napoleon appear more ‘modern’ than he really was, but also presents the Napoleonic episode as a great unifying experience for Continental Europe. Yet, at other levels, the long-term impact of Napoleon was to extenuate differences between Europeans. After 1815, they followed paths arguably more divergent than had been the case previously. Grab would be justified in responding to these observations by pointing to the constraints imposed by the publisher’s word limit. Moreover, Grab does convey well the diversity that existed even within those parts of Europe that came under Napoleonic domination. So if some scholars will likely disagree with some of the conclusions drawn, this nevertheless represents a useful work of synthesis, which fairly reflects current historiography. Clearly written and accessible, its particular contribution will be to introduce students to previously neglected portions of the Napoleonic Empire.
