Présentation de l'éditeur :
Among the finest examples of deeply researched and colorfully written military history, Richard Bassett's For God and Kaiser is a major account of the Habsburg army told for the first time in English. Bassett shows how the Imperial Austrian Army, time and again, was a decisive factor in the story of Europe, the balance of international power, and the defense of Christendom. Moreover it was the first pan-European army made up of different nationalities and faiths, counting among its soldiers not only Christians but also Muslims and Jews. Bassett tours some of the most important campaigns and battles in modern European military history, from the seventeenth century through World War I. He details technical and social developments that coincided with the army's story and provides fascinating portraits of the great military leaders as well as noteworthy figures of lesser renown. Departing from conventional assessments of the Habsburg army as ineffective, outdated, and repeatedly inadequate, the author argues that it was a uniquely cohesive and formidable fighting force, in many respects one of the glories of the old Europe.
Revue de presse :
'Bassett sets out 'to explore whether the Habsburgs army's reputation for inefficiency, incompetence, general unreliability, and even cruelty, is at all justified.' Calling to his aid an impressively broad array of sources, he demonstrates with engaging verve that it is not.' --Adam Zamoyski, Literary Review.
'John Keegan, perhaps the greatest British military historian of recent years, felt that the most important book that remained unwritten was a history of the Austrian army. Richard Bassett has now successfully filled the gap, and few could be better qualified to do so.' --John Jolliffe, The Spectator
'To the normal qualities to an historian Richard Bassett adds a profound knowledge of Austrian culture and the Austrian mentality. I cannot think of a better means of bringing the intelligent public to an understanding (and dare I say, enjoyment) of this enthralling subject, so long misunderstood in the standard historiography.' --Christopher Duffy, author of 'The Austrian Army in the Seven Years War'
