Karl Lueger and the Twilight of Imperial Vienna : The Life and Work of a Municipal Socialiser and Precursor of Christian Democracy

This volume, composed of extracts from a number of biographies of Lueger translated by Philip O'Connor, seeks to introduce Mayor Lueger to the English-speaking world - which has plenty to learn about community politics.

An introduction by Angela Clifford takes up perceptions of Lueger in the context of her own Viennese and Palestinian background, and Councillor Mark Langhammer - who also has links with a lost Middle Europe - supplies a preface.
