The Dissolution of the Habsburg Monarchy
About This Book
The main factor which destroyed the Habsburg Monarchy was the problem of nationality and its dissolution was hastened, but not caused, by World War I. Oscar JĂĄszi spent twenty years studying the dangers that threatened this monarchy but his practical plans for averting these dangers were not given a hearing until it was too late. This book was the culmination of Mr. JĂĄszi's theoretical and practical activity and was enthusiastically received when first published in 1929."It is not only effective and dramatic narrative, it is also political science of the first order."âHarold J. Laski"The work is a liberal education in Central European politics."âHenry C. Alsberg, The Nation"There have been many books written on the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but there is none which goes so deeply into the causesâŚin this pitiless yet pitiful analysis, rigorously buttressed with statistics, the tragedy is described without bitterness but with deep feeling."âThe Manchester Guardian
