Within the Cambridge Concise Histories, a series of illustrated concise histories of selected individual countries, Steven Beller—an independent scholar who has already published numerous books on Austria, especially Vienna and the Jews 1867–1938: A Cultural History (1989; rev. ante, cviii [1993], 245–6), Theodor Herzl (1991) and Emperor Francis Joseph (1996; rev. ante, cxiii [1998], 1363–4)— has presented this History of Austria.
