520    "A rich and illuminating history of the world capital that
       has transformed art, culture, and politics. Vienna is 
       unique amongst world capitals in its consistent 
       international importance over the centuries. From the 
       ascent of the Habsburgs as Europe's leading dynasty to the
       Congress of Vienna, which reordered Europe in the wake of 
       Napoleon's downfall, to bridge-building summits during the
       Cold War, Vienna has been the scene of key moments in 
       world history. Scores of pivotal figures were influenced 
       by their time in Vienna, including: Empress Maria Theresa,
       Count Metternich, Bertha von Suttner, Theodore Herzl, 
       Gustav Mahler, Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, John F. Kennedy,
       and many others. In a city of great composers, artists, 
       and thinkers, it is here that both the most positive and 
       destructive ideas of recent history have developed. From 
       its time as the capital of an imperial superpower, through
       war, dissolution, dictatorship to democracy Vienna has 
       reinvented itself and its relevance to the rest of the 
       world"--Page [2] of cover.
