Book Reviews of The Habsburg Monarchy, 1618-1815 (New Approaches to European History)
Book Review: One of the best histories of Austria available
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books on the subject period available. Histories of Austria prior to the rise of Napoleon are rare, and while AJP Taylor's work is probably better written, it does not cover the period prior to 1809. The Habsburg Monarchy is well organized, contains an even-handed approach to Austrian history (it neither condemns the Monarchy as doomed to dissolution nor praises it as an early experiment in multi-ethnic nation building) and contains enough information on the individual emperors and empresses to bring them to life.
My only complaint is that ebb and flow of the major conflicts of this period (the Thirty Years War, the War of Spanish Succession, the War of Austrian Succession, and the Seven Years War) is given only brief attention and leaves the reader wanting to know more.
Summary of The Habsburg Monarchy, 1618-1815 (New Approaches to European History)
This is a revised and updated edition of a highly acclaimed history of the early modern Habsburg monarchy. Charles Ingrao unravels the web of social, political, economic, and cultural factors that shaped the Habsburg monarchy during the period, and presents this complex story in a manner that is both authoritative and accessible to nonspecialists. This new edition underlines the importance of Habsburg history in more recent events, and remains the most comprehensive and readable introduction to the Habsburg story.Austria Books
