The death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 not only sparked the beginning of World War I, it also initiated the beginning of the end of the 600-year-old Habsburg dynasty, which fell apart when the war ended, changing Europe forever. But how did the Habsburgs come to play such a decisive role in the fate of the continent? Paula Sutter Fichtner seeks to answer this question in this comprehensive account of the longest-lived European empire.
