Sondhaus is the rock-star of Austro-Hungarian history in the English language. After finding references to the book via Google search I picked up a copy on Amazon. Not my usual read but it filled in a lot of detail about my great-grandfather's experience as a young man in the AH Navy. Sondhaus research is thorough and he adds life and nuance to the Admirals and clear context to this interesting time and place.

Solid account of the evolution of the Habsburg fleet from the Ausgleich until the collapse of the Monarchy. Sondhaus is the leading English-language specialist on the Monarchy's navy and this is a very well-researched and straightforward account of an unjustly forgotten navy.
