Synopsis
This captivating book tells the rousing tale of how, in the 19th century, Austria began establishing its authority over the Balkans. The region had fallen apart following the Ottoman Empire's decline, and Austria was not the only power with ambitions to fill the gap. Russia also had land it wanted to seize, and the two empires were on a collision course. What resulted was a complex series of meetings, military engagements, and political intrigues. The author presents an insightful account of the many factors that contributed to the region's fate, including the impacts of nationalism, religion, ethnic conflicts, and changes in military strategy. In the end, Austria prevailed, and its imprint on the Balkans is still visible today.
