Description
Book SynopsisThe emergence of central Europe and the Balkans as a major area of interest and international concern in post-Cold War Europe have given the fall of the Habsburg Empire and the consequences of that fall considerable contemporary resonance.
Trade ReviewThe essays provide new insights into the question of Habsburg endurance, while offering perceptive suggestions about its ultimate collapse... [The book] represents a valuable attempt to publish new research and new perspectives on familiar questions. Carefully edited and with an excellent set of maps and a solid bibliography, the book offers students and specialists alike fresh thoughts about the Habsburg Monarchy, the Soviet Union, and
Yugoslavia. The International History ReviewConcise and varied angles... Its lucid and informative contributions make it good value.
