This panoramic reappraisal shows why the Habsburg Empire mattered for so long to so many Central Europeans across divides of language, religion, and region. Pieter Judson shows that creative government-and intractable problems the far-flung empire could not solve-left an enduring imprint on successor states. Its lessons are no less important today.
