Detailed Description of the Hapsburgs in a Short Book
The Hapsburg Empire spanned over several centuries and encompasses an enormous amount of territory in Europe and elsewhere. An author could dedicate in excess of one thousand pages discussing this dynasty. The author, Billy Wellman, manages to capture the history of this dynasty in considerably fewer pages. The book does not miss any of the important events or important historical figures but does not overwhelm the reader with details. This book is recommended for anyone interested in the Hapsburg Empire.

Enthralling Indeed
The title of this book summarises this work in a nutshell. Billy Wellman did provide an enthralling overview of the Hapsburg Dynasty. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is either interested in World History or studying Sociology.

excellent short history
A short well defined history of the Habsburg family. The book clearly describes the impact and methods that the family survived and extended their reach over the centuries.

down to earth and factual
It is a very well documented essay of the rise and fall of the Habsburg lineage as well as their contributions to arts and science.
