"Przemy???sl, Poland: A Multiethnic City During and After a Fortress, 1867-1939 examines the economic, political, demographic, and cultural ramifications of Austro-Hungarian military investment in Przemy???sl, Poland, from the inception of the fortress in the 1870s, through four months of siege in World War I, to the decades of social change before World War II. The city of Przemy???sl lies a few miles west of the Poland-Ukraine border.

The city's physical and demographic growth was irreversibly tied to the army, yet much of the population rejected the garrison and fought with its soldiers.

By 1914, the city was besieged by the Russian Army, and by 1918, the city was part of the new Second Polish Republic.
