Hungary thus became a battleground between the Ottoman and Habsburg empires.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this sweeping historical survey, Géza Pálffy takes readers through a crucial period of upheaval and revolution in Hungary, which had been the site of a flowering of economic, cultural, and intellectual progress--but battles with the Ottomans lead to over a century of war and devastation. Pálffy explores Hungary's role as both a borderland and a theater of war through the turn of the 18th century. In this way, Hungary became a crucially important field on which key debates over religion, government, law, and monarchy played out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReflecting 25 years of archival research and presented here in English for the first time, \u003ci\u003eHungary between Two Empires 1526-1711\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh and thorough exploration of this key moment in Hungarian history and, in turn, the creation of a modern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eGéza Pálffy\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis Research Professor in the Department of Early Modern History at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Research Centre for the Humanities, Institute of History, Budapest.
