Reviews

[J.M. Hushour]

No one ever seems to give a shit about the twilight years of the Austrians and their wackass Empire. Mason gives it its due in this nice, non-backwards projecting look at its last half century of existence before World War I ripped it to shreds.

Book required to study for UK Open University's A326 'Empire: 1492-1975'

[Carlos Filipe Bernardino]

An interesting approach, and study, for the end of Austro-Hungary Empire, at the conclusion of First World War
