Industry Reviews
'Gumz challenges orthodoxies on the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Serbia by describing an evolution from brutality to a pragmatic symbiosis. By 1917 Serbia developed into a vital source of food purchased on such advantageous terms that consideration developed of extending postwar Habsburg rule over a Serbia not merely pacified, but content. Was this an anomaly? Or is it time for a fresh perspective on occupation during the Great War?' Dennis Showalter, Colorado College
'This brilliant account of the Austrian war against Serbia between 1914 and 1918 fills a huge gap in our understanding of the way the Great War reconfigured the boundaries between front, home front and occupation. Gumz shows authoritatively how the Austrian army marched through Serbia right back into the nineteenth century, by trying to do the impossible: to separate battle front and home front in the midst of total war. Their failure to do so is at the core of the failure of the Habsburg empire to survive the war.' Jay Winter, Yale University
