I'm reading A Mad Catastrophe recommended to me by a dramatard (whose name I didn't look up yet cause it's early). It's about Austria-Hungary during the lead up, and into WWI. It is really good. I know a lot about WWI but I didn't know how much of a shit show they were. Everything was bad, from troops, to weapons, to high command.

I didn't realize it when I started but I read Wawros book on the Franco Prussian War and really enjoyed it. He has a great writing style and I'll probably keep an eye out for more of his stuff.

It's weird because Bohemia was one of the most technologically advanced places in the world at the time. But they weren't calling the shots.

Apparently the Hungarians were calling all the shots
