Book synopsis

Excerpt from Europe in the Melting-Pot For the ten years preceding the war I had devoted myself to the study of Central European history and politics, especially the problems centring round Austria-Hungary and the Balkans: and my work acquired added zest from the fact that so far as the English language was concerned, I was only too often digging in almost virgin soil. It may be that I was also led on by the altogether exaggerated significance assigned to my work by public opinion in the countries concerned, which was quite unaware of the contrast between its own interest and the profound indifference of the British public towards all such problems. That during these years my views had to undergo repeated and very radical modification is not a fact for which I need apologise; for few countries have ever been more fatal to preconceived notions than the now vanished Habsburg Monarchy, and a writer who after ten years of study still adhered to his original views, would thereby stand self-condemned. My first little essay, "The Future of Austria-Hungary" (1907), was designed to show the superficiality of the thesis "that the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy will collapse at the death of Francis Joseph."
