For more than six centuries, the strange and defiant Habsburg family ruled a polyglot empire sprawling from Audstria to the Adriatic Sea, from North Africa to Mexico. Researcher Andrew Wheatcroft shows how the dynasty's mystical vision and unsurpassed political acumen culminated in the culture that produced 20th-century giants such as Freud and Hitler. 16 pages of photographs.
Review:
"The result is an attractive and intelligent book...To the extent that it is possible to do so in a single volume, he provides a sense of the collective identity and self-image of the dynasty while neither excluding individual personality nor ignoring sharp distinctions between eras and their distinctive world-views."
Dominic Lieven, Times Literary Supplement, 02/16/1996

The Habsburgs: Embodying Empire (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780140236347) Wheatcroft, Andrew Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 1997. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 198 x 129 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The Habsburgs have been described at one extreme as demons - responsible for a 'long history of atrocities'; and, at the other, as dodos - living fossils unable to adapt to the modern world. In reality, the flamboyant royal family appear, in many ways, to have behaved much like most other monarchies. Their story, however, is none the less enthralling for that. It is populated by such unforgettable figures as mad Queen Juana, progressing through Spain with her husband's decaying body; the 'heroically fertile' Maria Theresa; and, the quixotic Maximilian, 'Emperor' of Mexico.
