Sacrifice and Rebirth

The Legacy of the Last Habsburg War

Buch

When Austria-Hungary broke up at the end of the First World War, the sacrifice of one million men who had died fighting for the Habsburg monarchy now seemed to be in vain.

Each of the book's twelve chapters focuses on a separate region, studying how the transition to peacetime was managed either by the state, by war veterans, or by national minorities. This splintered war memory, where some posed as victors and some as losers, does much to explain the fractious character of interwar Eastern Europe. Mehr
