Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Tunstall has done a brilliant job of researching and presenting a readable analysis of the nearly forgotten series of icy mountain battles that destroyed the Austro-Hungarian Army and fatally weakened the hapsburg monarchy."-Relevance: Quarterly Journal of the Great War Society "The book is a detailed case study, based on extensive primary source research, of an attempt to devise a viable strategy to meet drastically-changed, unforeseen conditions with impending crisis-and with an increasingly domineering ally."-Parameters "In giving a full account of the winter war, Tunstall has rendered a vital service to our understanding of World War I. This is a must book for experts and novices alike."-NYMAS Review, New York Military Affairs Symposium |
