The Habsburgs: To Rule the World

?A feat of both scholarship and storytelling??(Wall Street Journal)?the definitive history?of a powerful family dynasty who dominated Europe for?centuries.??In?The?Habsburgs, Martyn Rady tells the epic story of a dynasty and the world it built?and then lost?over?nearly a?millennium. From modest origins, the Habsburgs gained control of the Holy Roman Empire in the fifteenth century. Then, in a few decades, their?possessions?rapidly expanded to take in a large part of Europe, stretching from Hungary to Spain, and parts of the New World and?the Far East. The Habsburgs dominated?Central Europe through the First World War.???Historians often depict the Habsburgs as leaders of a?ramshackle?empire. But Rady reveals their enduring power, driven by the belief that they were destined to rule the world as defenders of the Roman Catholic Church, guarantors of peace, and patrons of learning.?This?is the?remarkable?history of a dynasty that forever changed Europe and the world.??
