Sacrifice and Rebirth by Mark Cornwall

When Austria-Hungary broke up at the end of the First World War, six successor states tried to make sense of the last Habsburg war while preparing for life in a new Europe. This book is the first of its kind to analyze how the Great War was interpreted, commemorated, or forgotten across all the ex-Habsburg territories.
".. a crucial addition to the growing field of post-Habsburg studies...While other scholars and politicians shaped the broad memory of the Habsburg Empire, the veterans, commemorative committees, and memorial organizations in Sacrifice and Rebirth defined the fresher and deeper wounds of war. This book is highly recommended." Journal of Austrian Studies
