The Habsburg Empire's grand strategy for outmaneuvering and
outlasting stronger rivals in a complicated geopolitical world The
Empire of Habsburg Austria faced more enemies than any other
European great power. Flanked on four sides by rivals, it possessed
few of the advantages that explain successful empires. Yet somehow
Austria endured, outlasting Ottoman sieges, Frederick the Great,
and Napoleon. A. Wess Mitchell tells the story of how this
cash-strapped, polyglot empire survived for centuries in Europe's
most dangerous neighborhood without succumbing to the pressures of
multisided warfare. He shows how the Habsburgs played the long game
in geopolitics, corralling friend and foe alike into voluntarily
managing the empire's lengthy frontiers and extending a benign
hegemony across the turbulent lands of middle Europe. The Grand
Strategy of the Habsburg Empire offers lessons on how to navigate a
messy geopolitical map, stand firm without the advantage of
military predominance, and prevail against multiple rivals.
