Why read it?
1 author picked The Crossroads of Civilization as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I bought this book because my brain was starving for something totally new, and I told my bookseller. He recommended this despite the fact that I’m not normally a reader of history.
How it is written brings Vienna alive so vividly that just reading the first page made me not put the book down for hours. It’s not a heavy read. It’s learned, but it’s also lively, full of quirky and amusing anecdotes and a colorful cast of characters.
Fascinating to the point that I now have a ticket to Vienna, departing in two weeks.
