'Instead of focusing on an individual front, campaign or battle, Tunstall deals with the travails of the Austro-Hungarian army on every front in which it fought, and across the entire course of the war. Steeped in archival research and measured in its judgements, Tunstall's work is indispensable for both students of the Great War and the Austro-Hungarian army.' Richard L. DiNardo, author of Breakthrough: The Gorlice-Tarnow Campaign, 1915 'This is a superb analysis of a still underappreciated aspect of the First World War by an eminent historian of the Habsburg military. Crisp analysis of both the military and the home fronts give the work breathtaking depth. Tunstall rights many of the still prevalent myths and misconceptions of Conrad and his paladins 1914-1918.' Holger H. Herwig, author of The First World War: Germany and Austria-Hungary 1914-1918 'The Austro-Hungarian Army and the First World War, a volume in the Cambridge series 'Armies of the Great War', which received a NYMAS Special Award, is a very useful book for anyone interested in the Great War.' A. A. Nofi, StrategyPage 'The Austro-Hungarian Army and the First World War is a good opportunity to gain an overview of these fronts which are not forgotten in Western European publications, but are often marginally treated, and the armies deployed there.' Wolfgang Etschmann, International Journal of Military History and Historiography '… a very useful book for anyone interested in the Great War.' A. A. Nofi, The NYMAS Review
