Notes
This book was translated from the German by Alex J Kay and Anna Guttel-Bellert. The history of how the First World War was unleashed, of the role played by Emperor Franz Josef, of the way in which the different nationalities of the Hapsburg Monarchy reacted, and of the disintegration of an empire that had lasted for over 600 years has lost none of its drama today. Much of the story behind these events is only now becoming clear. In this book, politics and war are discussed, as is the alliance with Germany and the war as a state of emergency and as part of everyday life. This book, by one of Austria's leading historians, is a Central European encyclopaedia of the First World War.
