Focusing on Jewish involvement in the Habsburg Army during World War I, this book highlights the contributions of approximately 300,000-350,000 Jewish soldiers in the Austro-Hungarian forces. It draws on personal diaries and newspaper articles, many of which are presented in English for the first time, to provide a rich narrative of their experiences. Through these firsthand accounts, the book sheds light on the complex identity and roles of Jewish soldiers within the Habsburg military context from 1788 to 1918.
