Hi, there you are (Herm)... I was getting worried.
I can't remember what it was initially, that got me interested in the Habsburgs. Perhaps it had something to do with the cover and the fact it looked like Marie Antoinette. Sure enough I found out she WAS a Habsburg (either Mother or Father's side).
Last year I started reading it, but got sidetracked when deciding to read THIS instead:
So I will pick up where I left off on this history book. To answer your question, yes it does seem to be rather interesting. In the beginning it describes a battle that took place in medieval times and the Habsburg soldiers carried with them 13' swords. Yes, that's feet - not inches. o.O
