Habsburg Empire 1700-1918

Histoire de l'empire des Habsbourg
Bok av Jean Berenger
This is the eagerly awaited second volume of Jean Brenger's history of the Habsburgs. It covers the last two centuries of their rule and provides a compelling account of the fluctuations of Habsburg dynastic power and its disintegration after World War One. Brenger gives a rich portrait of Habsburg greatness under Maria Theresa and Joseph II and shows how their successors proved more adroit at riding the tide of nationalism in their multi-ethnic empire than is often recognised.
