  • Britain and the Occupation of Austria, 1943-45by Alice Hills; William J. Philpott

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2000; US$ 100.00

    The relationship of policy to strategy is a central issue in international studies. Using the little-known but highly relevant example of British planning for the occupation in 1945, the book provides a case-study in the practicalities of 'liberating' enemy territory. It looks at the way in which policy was developed and then reconciled with those of her Allies; how negotiations were directly affected by the existing - and expected - strategic situation; and how the military were involved in the reconstruction of Austria. more...

  • Nobility, Land and Service in Medieval Hungaryby Dr Martyn Rady; Michael Branch; Prof George Kolankiewicz

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2000; US$ 140.00

    The absence in medieval Hungary of fief-holding and vassalage has often been cited by historians as evidence of Hungary's early 'deviation' from European norms. This new book argues that medieval Hungary was, nevertheless, familiar with many institutions characteristic of noble society in Europe.

This is the story of the Austrian chancellor who attempted to act as a moral force to bring a divided, bankrupt, and bitter Europe to its senses.
