Judson's book informs and stimulates. If his account of Habsburg achievements, especially in the 18th century, is rather starry-eyed, it is a welcome corrective to the black legend usually presented. Lucid, elegant, full of surprising and illuminating details, it can be warmly recommended to anyone with an interest in modern European history.'\u003cbr\u003e-Tim Blanning, Wall Street Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This is an engaging reappraisal of the empire whose legacy, a century after its collapse in 1918, still resonates across the nation-states that replaced it in central Europe. Judson rejects conventional depictions of the Habsburg empire as a hopelessly dysfunctional assemblage of squabbling nationalities and stresses its achievements in law, administration, science and the arts.'\u003cbr\u003e-Tony Barber, Financial Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Spectacularly revisionist...
