Book Description
This book traces the development of the dominance of the Austrian Hapsburgs in Eastern Europe as they established themselves as eventual rulers of Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia. The latter was the setting for severe fighting as the Austro-Hungarian army tried and failed to resist Prussian attempts to seize the region. The Seven Years War (1756-1763) pitted Frederick the Great of Prussia against Maria Theresa of Austro-Hungary as each struggled for control of their respective empires and dominance of the continent. The organization, uniforms and equipment of the army are all examined and illustrated.

Book Description
The Austrian Empire of the 18th century was the most ethnically diverse in Europe. The large number of subject peoples with their own styles of warfare gave Austrian generals the potential to have the most flexible army in Europe during the wars of the 1700s. If Austria's aristocratic generals usually failed to utilize their diverse army properly on the battlefield, Austrian units nevertheless introduced new methods of warfare that were copied by more effective armies and are in some cases still in use today. Austria's Hungarian hussars, or light cavalry, introduced a new mobility to the battlefield, with an increased role for scouting and raiding. Prussia, France and most European countries soon created hussar units, even copying the Hungarian national dress that they wore. Horse artillery was also introduced by the Austrians, but more effectively utilized by others later. The Austrian army in the field was screened by a vast swarm of Serbs, Bosnians, and Croats, who introduced principles of light infantry and guerrilla operations that many associate with the American frontier. Renowned military historian Christopher Duffy has been given unprecedented access to the Austrian archives in Vienna to bring this important multi-national army fully to life for the first time.
