Reader reviews for Prelude To Infamy: The Story Of Chancellor Dollfuss Of Austria

From the publisher

""Prelude to Infamy: The Story of Chancellor Dollfuss of Austria"" is a biographical account of the life and political career of Austrian statesman Engelbert Dollfuss. Written by Gordon Brook-Shepherd, the book explores Dollfuss's rise to power as the leader of the Christian Social Party and his efforts to maintain Austria's independence from Nazi Germany. The book also delves into Dollfuss's controversial decision to suspend democracy and establish an authoritarian regime in Austria, which ultimately led to his assassination by Nazi agents in 1934. Through extensive research and interviews with surviving family members and political associates, Brook-Shepherd provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of this complex and controversial figure in Austrian history. The book offers insights into the political, social, and economic forces that shaped Austria in the interwar period and sheds light on the broader historical context of the rise of fascism in Europe. Overall, ""Prelude to Infamy"" is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Austria and the tumultuous events leading up to World War II.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
