Résumé
Behind every modern European nation-state stood a classroom. This book uncovers how governments from the Napoleonic era through the Cold War used compulsory education not primarily to enlighten, but to forge loyal subjects, obedient soldiers, and productive workers. It traces the curriculum wars over history textbooks in France, the Prussian drills designed to instill punctuality and deference, the role of boarding schools in cementing imperial rule across British colonies, and the systematic purging of teachers under fascist regimes.
Drawing on school records, parliamentary debates, and the writings of educators who resisted or enforced these policies, the narrative reveals education as a quiet battlefield where the soul of each generation was contested. The book argues that the modern European classroom was never neutral-it was the primary instrument through which states taught their citizens who to obey, what to remember, and how to belong.
Its legacy persists in every debate about patriotism in schools today.
