(read Nov 4, 1999) This is a 1951 book by a history professor which is very thorough, but since the topic is not high in my present range of interests I found I was glad when I was finished. I was surprised at the contentiousness which bedeviled Austria-Hungary in the years before the Great War, tho I suppose I should not have been. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

The extraordinary and amorphous Hapsburg Empire--"that ramshackle realm" as Lloyd George called it--extended from cultivated Vienna to the remote hamlets of the Ukrainian East, and comprised a wide mixture of peoples: Magyars, Czechs, Poles and Ruthenians, Slovenes, Croats. Mr. May discusses the many elements of this diverse realm, its society, culture, economy, politics, diplomacy, and great men; the burgeoning forces of nationalism which eventually were to tear the empire apart, and the reasons why it held together as long as it did--reasons which had much to do with the personalities at the head of the realm: Francis Joseph, the Empress-Queen Elizabeth, and various ministers such as Colomon Tisza and Counts Andrássy, Beust, and Aehrenthal, whose characters and achievements are vividly described. The book also deals with Austria-Hungary's relations with the major powers of France, Russia, England, Germany, Italy, and Turkey, and with the growing powers of the Balkan countries, assessing the pivotal role the Hapsburg Monarchy played in the diplomacy of modern Europe.
