The Shortest History of Austria
by Nicholas T. Parsons
Today, Austria is a small country in Central Europe, but for centuries, it was the fulcrum of events going on in Europe, as the Habsburgs led the Holy Roman Empire and later the sprawling, multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire. This is a short (fewer than 250 pages) introduction to the country’s entire history.
