"An impressive achievement in a task of extraordinary difficulty...The outstanding asset of this work does not consist in in its comprehensiveness and objectivity, however, nor even in the wide knowledge and special expertise Kann can bring to bear from his early legal training, his formidable scholarship on the nationalities question, and his keen critical appreciation of the diverse cultures of the monarchy. Its greatest merit derives from the author's determination always to ask fundamental questions, his care to discriminate between surface phenomena and deeper causes, his skill in finding significant patterns in an apparently chaotic welter of events, his facility for perceptive and penetrating distinctions and generalizations. In short, he tried with considerable success to tell what really happened in history rather than simply what obviously happened."--Canadian Historical Review… (mere)

This is definitely not written for the general reader; it was a bit of a slog. Very good information, very well researched; Professor Kahn obviously knows his material and cares deeply about it, but this was plainly written for other scholars of central european history, not for the average person who may want to know a bit more about the Habsburg Empire (but then again, who would constitute the average for having an interest in the Habsburg Empire?).
Again, lots of information, just not collected in an engaging read. (

excellent source material difficult read due to spotty translation from German to English. (

I agree that the prose is hardly scintillating, but Kann is thorough. Also, I appreciate the fact that he surveys the history and culture of all the nations in the Empire. In my (informal) study of Central Europe, I have found this book to be extremely useful, if not indispensable, and I continue to refer to it. But it's not good bedtime reading, unless you need a soporific. (

Imagine, if you will, the most boring thing you can think of. Now picture the most boring person you know.

Imagine that person talking about that thing for well on 700 pages. (

Abysmally written and apparently not edited at all ("Not before the heights of the Enlightenment did the Habsburgs establish a scholarly 'Anschluss' to the western world"), but full of good meaty facts.

The permanent affiliation of the Habsburg dynasty, the ruling house in the German Alpine hereditary lands, with the lands of the Bohemian and Hungarian-Croatian crowns in 1526-1527 initiates the beginning of the history of these realms as an over-all political entity.
