Vojna Hrvatska: krajiško društvo u Francuskom carstvu (1809-1813)

Roksandić explores how the French authorities reorganized the Krajina structures, introducing new administrative and military reforms, and how these changes affected the local population and social relations.

The author uses a wealth of archival material to illustrate the complexity of the relationship between traditional Krajina institutions and the Napoleonic administration. He places particular emphasis on the transformation of social and military structures, including changes in recruitment, discipline, and the daily lives of the Krajina soldiers. The book also considers the broader geopolitical context, including the role of the Croatian Military Border in the French strategy towards the Habsburg Monarchy and the Ottoman Empire.

Roksandić’s work provides in-depth insight into the dynamics of power and identity in a region that was at the crossroads of the great European powers. His analysis contributes to a better understanding of how imperial policies shaped local communities and their institutions during a turbulent period in European history.
