Vienna: The International Capital
A history of the city at the crossroads of Europe.
Vienna is unique amongst world capitals in its consistent international importance over the centuries — from the rise of the Habsburgs and the Congress of Vienna that reordered Europe after Napoleon, through Cold War bridge-building summits, to the modern city of UN agencies and OSCE diplomacy. Drawing on nearly a decade of original research and his own years in the city, Angus Robertson tells the story of Vienna as a meeting place of empires, ideas, and statecraft.
"A first-class book about Vienna as the crossroads of civilization and as the international capital." Arnold Schwarzenegger
"A pleasure to read and a journey of discovery even for those who know this city well." Alexander Van der Bellen · Federal President of Austria
