Upon reading this book a second time, in light of the persuasive comments left by the other reviewers, I must agree that Deak's work leaves an awful lot to be desired. I recently read other books on the same subject, notably Wendell Gibson's _Hapsburg Diary_, which makes Deak's work seem amateurish to say the least. I recant my earlier review, which was a product of my own ignorance. I hope I didn't lead anyone to actually purchasing Mr. Deak's infantile ramblings.
