"... a crucial addition to the growing field of post-Habsburg studies...While other scholars and politicians shaped the broad memory of the Habsburg Empire, the veterans, commemorative committees, and memorial organizations in Sacrifice and Rebirth defined the fresher and deeper wounds of war. This book is highly recommended." Journal of Austrian Studies
