Research summary

I joined SSEES in 1990 and am now retired. I continue to research and write on Central European History. My most recent book, The Habsburgs: Rise and Fall of a World Power, was published by Allen Lane/Basic Books in 2020. It is already out in a Dutch edition. German, Russian, Czech, Turkish, Chinese, Portuguese, Hungarian, and Spanish editions are forthcoming.

I am currently writing a history of Central Europe, provisionally entitled From the Rhine to the Carpathians, hopefully to be published in 2023.
