NAPOLEON'S SATELLITE KINGDOMS: MANAGING CONQUERED PEOPLE
by Owen Connelly

Hardcover.

The following review was written by a gentleman from The Netherlands and is included with this book's listing on Amazon.com:

Family history of Europe in the Napoleonic era
It is very rare to find a book that describes the expansion of the French empire in such an entertaining, yet thoroughly responsible way. This period has traditionally been the domain of monolithical German monographs in four volumes, but Connelly succeeds to say much more in relatively few pages. Of course, there's the odd error (Anna Pavlovna was NOT a daughter of Alexander I), and the admiration that Connelly expresses for Napoleon's family, if not much for the man himself, sometimes seems inconsistent with his description of their behaviour (especially in Jerome's case). However, on the whole I cannot remember having read a more enjoyable book on this subject.
