Reviews
'European Elites and Ideas of Empire, 1917-1957 has much to say about post-World War I elite attitudes toward the downfall of continental empires and postwar identity among German-speaking European elites. Rather than retreat into lives of resentment, resignation, or quiet dissolution, these men coped with the trauma of empire's end not only by re-envisioning European 'imperial' units but also by taking steps, whatever their results, to make it happen. ... [Gusejnova's] study reveals a fascinating and distinctly eastern European branch of the intellectual genealogy of European unification.' Matthew G. Stanard, H-Empire
