A Concise History of Austria\Geschichte Österreichs, englische Ausgabe

"Steven Beller's history of Austria is not only concise - it is also incisive, witty and engaging - Both tough and fair, but never insipidly nostalgic, in his assessments of the Austrian experience, Beller succeeds in highlighting the country's paradoxical and ambiguous role as both a foil to, and a distillation of, the broader patterns of European history." (Aviel Roshwald, Georgetown University)<br/><br/>"Written in a lively and compelling style - an authoritative single-volume history of Austria - recommend[ed] to undergraduate students (at all levels) as introductory general reading." (Dr Janet Stewart, University of Aberdeen)
