THE FIRST WORLD WAR AND THE END OF THE HABSBURG...

The well-respected historian Manfried Rauchensteiner analyses the outbreak of World War I 
Emperor Franz Joseph's role in the conflict  and how the various nationalities of the Habsburg
Monarchy reacted to the disintegration of this 640-yearold empire in 1918. After Archduke Franz
Ferdinands assassination in Sarajevo in 1914  war was inevitable. Emperor Franz Joseph intended
it  and everyone in Vienna expected it. How the war began and how Austria-Hungary managed to
avoid capitulation only weeks later with the help of German troops reads like a thriller.
Manfried Rauchensteiners book is based on decades of research and is a fascinating read to the
very end  even though the final outcome  the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy  is
already known. Originally published in German in 2013 by Böhlau  this standard work is now
available in English.
