THE HABSBURGS - BENJAMIN CURTIS KARTONIERT (TB)

The Habsburgs rank among the most celebrated ruling dynasties in history. At one point  their
territories stretched not only across Europe but across the globe  into Asia  Africa and the
Americas. By virtue of their long pre-eminence  the family made an indelible mark on European
affairs  shaping the course of international politics and diplomacy  and knitting together the
diverse peoples of Central Europe. The story of the Habsburgs is theatrical and compelling  but
it is also vital for understanding how kings ruled  nations rose  and societies changed as
modern Europe came into being. In this book  Benjamin Curtis explores both the Spanish and
Austrian branches of the dynasty  providing a concise  comprehensive picture of the dynasty's
development. This study clearly demonstrates why the Habsburgs are considered the most
consistently accomplished practitioners of European dynasticism.
