Austria 1867-1955 by John W Boyer
Austria 1867-1955 connects the political history of German-speaking provinces of the Habsburg Empire before 1914 (Vienna and the Alpine Lands) with the history of the Austrian Republic that emerged in 1918, presenting the case of modern Austria as a fascinating example of democratic nation-building.
In his brilliant opus magnum John Boyer shows why Austria needed three attempts to build a stable democracy and how co-operation of formerly antagonistic political elites finally succeeded in the years after World War II* Michael Mesch, Wiener Geschichtsblätter, Vol. 78/3 *
