This book is a popular book on the modern history of Austria. On the basis of tracing the birth process of the modern Austrian country, it introduces in detail how Austria gradually grew from a small country at the foot of the Alps with a poor economy and political isolation to the world-famous and wealthy country it is today after its independence in 1918. In particular, the book vividly narrates the history of Austria since 1933 when it gave up its illusions about the Anschluss of Germany and Austria, defying powerful enemies and trying its best to resist annexation by fascist Germany. It also provides a detailed description of the patriotic deeds of several famous figures in modern Austrian history such as Dollfuss and Schuschnigg.
