About This Item
New York: Cambridge University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2009. First Edition. Hardcover. 0521896274 . A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ. Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector. ; Cambridge Military Histories; 9.1 X 6.3 X 1.1 inches; 288 pages; "This book examines the Habsburg Armys occupation of Serbia from 1914 through 1918. This occupation ran along a distinctly European-centered trajectory radically different from other great power colonial projects or occupations during the 20th century. Unlike these projects and occupations, the Habsburg Army sought to denationalize and depoliticize Serbia, to gradually reduce the occupations violence, and to fully integrate the country into the Empire. These aims stemmed from 19th-century conservative and monarchical convictions that compelled the Army to operate under broad legal and civilizational constraints. Gumzs research provides a counterpoint to interpretations of the First World War that emphasize the centrality of racially inflected, Darwinist worldviews in the war." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
