Description
Vienna on the brink of cataclysm is vividly evoked in this landmark historical vision. Drawing on previously untapped sources, Frederic Morton sheds new light on two pivotal years in the life of this extraordinary city and its impact on the 20th century.
The period between 1913 and 1914 was marked by significant events that would have far-reaching consequences. A young Stalin arrived in Vienna during the carnival season, setting him on a path to rise through the ranks of Russian revolutionaries, while Adolf Hitler continued to pursue his artistic ambitions amidst a backdrop of turmoil.
Morton's prose is characterised by its luminosity, as he masterfully weaves together the intricate threads of history to create a compelling narrative. This book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in time, inviting readers to explore the complexities and nuances of Vienna's tumultuous past.
