Review:
'Sked needs no introduction: he is one of a handful of leading scholars on the Habsburg empire, as well as a marvellous writer, whose elegant style draws the reader painlessly through a rich text...It opens a door, as does no other work in English, to a fascinating and significant period of history, which, today, tends to be overlooked and is often misunderstood' --Professor J.R. Gillingham, University of Missouri-St.Louis, USA
'This is easily the best book written on Metternich in the last quarter century.' --Professor John Charmely, University of East Anglia, UK "Each of the six chapters in this well-written volume asks a salient question that has helped define the great Austrian chancellor's significance and reputation... This is certainly a welcome update for scholars, as well as for classroom instructors in search of a book that poses questions for student debate... Highly recommended." —CHOICE
