About This Book

Radetzky March is a 1932 family saga novel by Joseph Roth chronicling the decline and fall of the Habsburg Monarchy via the story of the Trotta family. Radetzkymarsch is an early example of a story that features the recurring participation of a historical figure, in this case the Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria (1830–1916). Roth continues his account of the Trotta family to the time of the Anschluss in his The Emperor's Tomb. The novel, which covers the period from 1859 to 1916, has been published in English translations by Geoffrey Dunlop in 1933, Joachim Neugroschel in 1995 and Michael Hofmann in 2003.
