Summary:

"How did it feel to experience the Habsburg Empire's fall into war and revolution? Morelon reconstructs the sights, sounds and material culture of a city in turmoil. From imperial city to nation-state capital, she traces Prague's emerging place within the post-Versailles world order, and what this meant for its citizens"-- Provided by publisher.
