Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traverses the history of the Austrian Empire to offer a view of the manipulation, political cunning, and subversion used by the Habsburg Emperors to expand their territory, specifically in relation to the repeated invasions and partitions of Poland. The author explains how, despite their public image of benevolent rule, many Austrian rulers in private used oppressive and merciless strategies to conquer and maintain control of foreign lands. Though focusing chiefly on Austria's relationship with Poland, the book makes a wider examination of European diplomacy and the negative ramifications of uncontrolled power. This well-researched book will interest any reader curious about the dark underbelly of European history and the ruthless power politics of the Habsburg dynasty.
