ISBN10: 3205795881, ISBN13: 9783205795889, [publisher: Bohlau Verlag, Koln] Hardcover Hardcover. The well-respected historian Manfried Rauchensteiner analyses the outbreak of World War I, Emperor Franz Josephs role in the conflict, and how the various nationalities of the Habsburg Monarchy reacted to the disintegration of this 640-year-old empire in 1918. After Archduke Franz Ferdinand"s 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 Boehlau, this standard work is now available in English. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
