“Gundolf Graml’s book presents a fresh, enterprising assessment of the role played by tourism in the construction of ‘Austrianness’ under the Second Republic…[It] offers much to mull over and invigorates both tourism and Austrian history with new approaches.” • Journal of Austrian Studies“Revisiting Austria is one of the best works that I have read on the issue of coming to terms with the Nazi past—in this case, Austria’s difficulty in confronting it. The author’s suggestions that this legacy is less repressed than disruptive is a significant contribution.” • Shelley Baranowski, University of Akron“This is an impressive piece of interdisciplinary work, drawing on a range of diverse sources and demonstrating a confident command of the literature. Despite covering quite a lot of ground, it is a pleasurable and easy read.” • Tim Kirk, Newcastle University
