Summary

"Professor May writes with great skill and competence on political events and is at his best when he depicts the personal life of the monarch and the easygoing habits of the Austrian aristocracy. ... His book is unduly optimistic and contributes comparatively little to the knowledge of the causes of the gradual disintegration of the Hapsburg Empire and of its ultimate collapse in the autumn of 1918"--Otakar Odlozilik, Political Science Quarterly, Vol. 67, No. 3 (Sep. 1952).
