Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a major new contribution to the historiography of the First World War. It examines the lively battle of ideas which helped to destroy Austria-Hungary. It also assesses, for the first time, the weapon of 'front propaganda' as used by and against the Empire on the Italian and Eastern Fronts. Based on material in eight languages, the work challenges accepted views about Britain's primacy in the field of propaganda, while casting fresh light on the creation of Yugoslavia and the viability of the Habsburg Empire in its last years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Austria-Hungary broke up at the end of the First World War, the sacrifice of one million men who had died fighting for the Habsburg monarchy now seemed to be in vain. This book is the first of its kind to analyze how the Great War was interpreted, commemorated, or forgotten across all the ex-Habsburg territories. Each of the book’s twelve chapters focuses on a separate region, studying how the transition to peacetime was managed either by the state, by war veterans, or by national minorities. This “splintered war memory,” where some posed as victors and some as losers, does much to explain the fractious character of interwar Eastern Europe.

Book excerpt: This study chronicles U.S.-Habsburg relations from the early nineteenth century through the aftermath of World War I. By including both high-level diplomacy and analysis of diplomats' ceremonial and social activities, as well as an exploration of consular efforts to determine the citizenship status of thousands of individuals who migrated between the two countries, Nicole M. Phelps demonstrates the influence of the Habsburg government on the United States' integration into the nineteenth-century Great Power System and the influence of American racial politics on the Habsburg Empire's conceptions of nationalism and democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advancing a new approach to the study of international order, this book highlights the stakes disguised by traditional theoretical languages of power transitions and hegemonic wars. Rather than direct challenges to US military power, the most consequential undermining of hegemony is routine, bottom-up processes of international goods substitution: a slow hollowing out of the existing order through competition to seek or offer alternative sources for economic, military, or social goods. Studying how actors gain access to alternative suppliers of these public goods, this volume shows how states consequently move away from the liberal international order. Examining unfamiliar – but crucial – cases, it takes the reader on a journey from local Faroese politics, to Russian election observers in Central Asia, to South American drug lords. Broadening the debate about the role of public goods in international politics, this book offers a new perspective of one of the key issues of our time.

Book excerpt: One of The New York Times Book Review’s 10 Best Books of the Year Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize (History) The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 is historian Christopher Clark’s riveting account of the explosive beginnings of World War I. Drawing on new scholarship, Clark offers a fresh look at World War I, focusing not on the battles and atrocities of the war itself, but on the complex events and relationships that led a group of well-meaning leaders into brutal conflict. Clark traces the paths to war in a minute-by-minute, action-packed narrative that cuts between the key decision centers in Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris, London, and Belgrade, and examines the decades of history that informed the events of 1914 and details the mutual misunderstandings and unintended signals that drove the crisis forward in a few short weeks. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Christopher Clark’s The Sleepwalkers is a dramatic and authoritative chronicle of Europe’s descent into a war that tore the world apart.

Excerpt: ...visit was on everybody's lips in those days. He tried to investigate, but all of a sudden the whole gang of young men cleared their quarters. Thereupon he decided to call at the Austro-Hungarian Consulate General, but was arrested on his way to the consular office by a Servian gendarme who escorted him to the police. Here he was questioned about the purpose of his visit to the consulate. Then he was put into various jails on a trumped up charge that he was a spy. In the jail he was beaten repeatedly with sandbags, and once he nearly fell victim to an assault of another inmate of the jail. According to the witnesses' statement this murderous assault must have been arranged by the police, as a police officer was quietly standing by when the assault took place. Eventually one day he was taken out of jail and brought before the chief of police. Both this latter and ihe assistant chief were present. They handed him triumphantly a clipping from a paper referring to the murder of the Crown Prince. "You tried to prevent this" so he testified they said to Mm, "but we are cleverer than you are. Nou? Austria-Hungary's turn comes next. We will destroy it." Witness was told that he would have to leave Belgrade at once. Before leaving, however, he icas asked to sign a paper that all his effects had been handed over to him in best order. Milanic refused to sign because both his money and sundry valuables had been taken from him during his confinement. In spite of his protestations he was escorted over the frontier to Belgrade, and was told by the police that Count Berchtold would undoubtedly come and call for his lost effects. Witness was shown the photos of the murderers, and he was asked whether he could identify them as some of...
