However, much of the story behind these events is only now becoming clear. Here, politics and war are discussed, as is the alliance with Germany and the war as a state of emergency and as part of everyday life. This book, by one of Austria’s leading historians, is a Central European encyclopaedia of the First World War. Manfried Rauchensteiner is Professor of Austrian History at the Univer- sity of Vienna and, until 2005, was Director of the Museum of Military History. ISBN 3-205-79588-1
