- Summary:
- Alan Sked investigates the career of Metternich, covering not only his diplomacy but especially his handling of domestic affairs. Sked explores all the key issues: did Metternich dominate European diplomacy? Was his Austria a police state? Did he have plans for domestic reform? Were his policies reactionary, and were they to blame for the outbreak of revolution in 1848? Sked provides insightful and thought-provoking answers to these questions.
