The originality of the work lies, above all, in its comprehensiveness and synoptic approach. There is nothing comparable to it in English . . . and no single volume in any language, to my knowledge, which would attempt to examine the role of the military against the background of political, diplomatic, economic, and social history. That Professor Rothenberg succeeded is attributable to his thorough familiarity with the Austrian archives and the immense literature relevant to his topic. I found the author’s working method meticulous, his scholarship sound, and his line of argumentation impeccably logical.”
“This is a judicious and well-expressed addition to the growing literature on Francis Joseph’s era.”
“As the only monograph covering the last 100 years of Hapsburg military history, this book is an important source of discussion of tactics, leaders, weapons, and politics of the empire.
“For the student, Rothenberg’s book fills a long-standing gap in English-language military studies. For soldiers, it raises interesting questions of politics and professionalism . . . . It will probably remain the standard work on its topic for years.
Military Review“The scholarly authority and shrewdness of judgement that [he] brings to bear upon these problems makes this the best one-volume treatment of its subject in any language.”
Slavic Review“The study reflects many years of research and a uniquely comprehensive knowledge of all the pertinent Viennese sources.”
Armed Forces and Society“[It] should become a basic reference both for the student of the Hapsburg Empire and for the military historian . . . . Rothenberg has produced an important, thoughtful study.”
