Besprekingen

A superb monograph that overturns simplistic ideas about traditional autocracy versus bureaucratic modernism and the center versus the provinces, showing how interdependent everything was and how local powers made use of the new legal/bureaucratic tools to advance their interests. It's also well written, with lively and occasionally hilarious anecdotes. Highly recommended.
