Publishers Description: Strausss Radetzky March, a signature tune of one of Europes most powerful regimes, presides over Joseph Roths account of three generations of the Trotta family in the years preceding the Austro-Hungarian collapse in 1918. Grandfather, son and grandson are equally dependent on the empire: the first for his ennoblement; the second for the civil virtues that make him a meticulous servant of an administration whose failure he can neither comprehend nor survive; the third for the standards of family conduct which he cannot attain but against which he is too enfeebled to rebel.
