«This is an invaluable and important collection.»

Christopher Storrs, International Journal of Military History and Historiography

«Nevertheless, this is an invaluable and important collection, making available to an Anglophone audience some of the best contemporary work on the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy between 1648 and 1815 and contributing enormously to the continuing discussion of that polity and of the fiscal military state.»

Christopher Storrs, University of St. Andrews, Bibliographical records

«The concept of the Fiscal-Military State (hereafter FMS) posits major changes in the character of the European state after about 1650...the agenda for the book at hand: to include the monarchy into an ongoing discussion and to sharpen the concept of the FMS.»

James D. Tracy, University of Minnesota (Emeritus), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

«This rich volume...it will certainly become an important point of reference for future teaching and research on Austria and its fiscal-military constitution.»
