Description: Based on exhaustive research in Vienna's and Budapest's War Archives, Tunstall's narrative incorporates material drawn from eyewitness accounts, personal diaries, army logbooks, and correspondence among members of the high command. As Tunstall shows, the roots of the Habsburg collapse in Russia in 1916 lay squarely in the winter campaign of 1915. --from publisher description.
