A Concise History of Austria（ISBN=9780521478861） pdf pdb 阿里云 极速 mobi caj kindle 下载

　　For a small, prosperous country in the middle of Europe,

modern Austria has a very large and complex history, extending far

beyond its current borders. Today's Austrians have a problematic

relationship with that history, whether with the multi-national

history of the Habsburg Monarchy, or with the time between 1938 and

1945 when Austrians were Germans in Hitler's Third Reich. Steven

Beller's gripping and comprehensive account traces the remarkable

career of Austria through its many transformations, from German

borderland, to dynastic enterprise, imperial house, Central

European great power, failed Alpine republic, German province, and

then successful Alpine republic, building up a picture of the

layers of Austrian identity and heritage and their diverse sources.

It is a story full of anomalies and ironies, a case study of the

other side of European history, without the easy answers of more

clearly national narratives, and hence far more relevant to today's

world.

· An integrated illustrated account of Austria's history,
