Re: Recommended reading on Austria-Hungary
F. Morton, A Nervous Splendor. Archduke Rudolf, Maria Vetsera, the Emperor, family politics and also Austro-Hungarian politics.
Any other opinions about this book from forum members? Morton seems to attract a lot of critics.

Re: Recommended reading on Austria-Hungary
I'm interested in pre-WWI Austria-Hungary.
USA schools barely mention A-H. can't find many books about either.
