This is a definitive account of the Austro-Hungarian Royal and
Imperial Army during the First World War. Graydon A. Tunstall shows
how Austria-Hungary entered the war woefully unprepared for the
ordeal it would endure. When the war commenced, the Habsburg Army
proved grossly under strengthen relative to trained officers and
manpower, possessing obsolete weapons and equipment, and with the
vast majority of its troops proved inadequately trained for modern
warfare. Well over one million Habsburg troops mobilized creating
an enormous logistical challenge of forging an army from the
diverse cultures, languages, economic and educational backgrounds
of the Empire's peoples. Graydon A. Tunstall shows how the army
suffered from poor strategic direction and outdated tactics and
facing a two-front offensive against both Russia and Serbia. He
charts the army's performance on the battlefields of Galicia,
Serbia, Romania, the Middle East and Italy through to its ultimate
collapse in 1918.
