The Habsburg Monarchy 1809-1918
A.J.P. Taylor

A history of the Habsburg monarchy and Austria-Hungary from the end of the Holy Roman Empire to the monarchy’s dissolution in 1918. The book offers an insight into the problems inherent in the attempt to give peace, stability and common loyalty to a hetergeneous population.

Dissolved in 1918, The Habsburg Empire ‘had a unique character, out of time and out of place’.
