The Fortress: The Siege of Przemysl and the Making of Europe’s Bloodlands

byAlexander Watson

Focused on the Siege of Przemysl and the Making of Europe’s Bloodlands, The Fortress brings Alexander Watson's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
