This is the first serious appraisal of Metternich's role in the Austrian Empire and beyond. Covering both domestic and international affairs, Sked presents a fresh and convincing description of Metternich's era and argues that despite his battered historical reputation, Metternich was the leading diplomat in Europe over four decades.
Industry Reviews
'Sked needs no introduction: he is one of a handful of leading scholars on the Habsburg empire, as well as a marvellous writer, whose elegant style draws the reader painlessly through a rich text...It opens a door, as does no other work in English, to a fascinating and significant period of history, which, today, tends to be overlooked and is often misunderstood', - Professor J.R. Gillingham, University of Missouri-St.Louis, USA 'This is easily the best book written on Metternich in the last quarter century', - Professor John Charmely, University of East Anglia, UK 'the book...provides new stimuli for futher research...' - European History Quarterly
