The dramatic assassination of Archduke Ferdinand at Sarajevo opened
the door to a tragic struggle which concluded with the
disintegration of the curious dual empire of Austria Hungary and
radically altered the political configuration of central Europe.
This work, the culmination of a lifetime of study and thought on
the Hapsburg Monarchy, penetrates its somber theme-the death throes
of a recognized great power-in greater depth than any previous
book. While it is of necessity heavily weighted with diplomatic and
military affairs, a studied effort has been made to allocate
appropriate attention to the internal evolution of the twinship of
Austria-Hungary in all its variety and amplitude. The instructive
story of the decline and collapse of this great power will have
relevance not only for students of modern history but also for
specialists in political science and for general readers who wish
to understand the present shape of central Europe.
