For more than six centuries, the strange and defiant Habsburg family ruled a polyglot empire sprawling from Austria to the Adriatic Sea, from North Africa to Mexico. Wheatcroft examines what distinguished this powerful, idiosyncratic, nationally fragmented clan from the other ruling houses of Europe, showing how the dynasty's mythical vision and unsurpassed political acumen culminated in a culture which produced 20th-century giants, from Freud to Hitler. Illustrations.
