“A powerful study of the tragic choices facing the French antiwar movement in the early twentieth century. Miller helps us see how, by 1914, the only way to fight war was to join it. This outcome, he demonstrates persuasively, was neither a betrayal of prior convictions nor a momentary response to a war crisis, the speed of which surprised all observers.”

EMBERS OF EMPIRE
Continuity and Rupture in the Habsburg Successor States after 1918
“Overall, this is an excellent text with a lot of interesting and novel observations on the experiences of people in the successor states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Our tendency in the past has been to wall off our studies along contemporary national boundaries, and the editors of this book have illustrated how these new nation-states both related to one another and struggled to create independent identities. Scholars of the late years of the empire and the transitions after its dissolution will undoubtedly find it a valuable resource, and I would not limit my recommendation just to historians. Anyone who studies Central European culture in the first half of the twentieth century may find something useful in this book.”
