Reviews for Fall of the Double Eagle: The Battle for Galicia and the Demise of Austria-Hungary
Fall of the Double Eagle can be read and appreciated by interested general readers as well as all students and scholars of the Great War. Part of its appeal, besides the high quality of the writing, is its author's gift of being sympathetic without lapsing into romanticism and critical without becoming injudicious.
