Críticas:

`a pioneering study of the social history of a military elite ... enthralling account'LNew York Review of Books

'The book is written sympathetically and the vast amount of evidence employed compressed into an easy narrative ... more than just a good read, for it makes important revisionist points ... an excellent book which every military, social, and political historian of Central Europe will find a joy to read.' Times Higher Education Supplement

'Déak presents a vivid and instructive portrait, essentially true to historical reality.'Ernst Wangermann, University of Walzburg, EHR, June '94

Reseña del editor:

István Deák examines the Habsburg officer corps and the way in which it became the foremost preserver of the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian empire from the mid-nineteeth century to the empire's defeat in 1918. The officer corps was an important cohesive force in the empire, for it created a unified and loyal army from recruits representing all the different nationalities and ethnic groups of Austro-Hungary.

The policies, character, social structure, and self-image of the Habsburg army have been neglected in the extensive literature on the origins of the First World War. Deák provides the most comprehensive social and cultural portrait to date of this important institution.
