Leon Kellner, a lower-middle-class Orthodox Jew from the province of Galicia, rose to become part of the intellectual and cultural elite of imperial Austria. His is a thoroughly Habsburg Jewish story, spanning east and west and shaped by the empire's history, politics, and culture. That world has long been destroyed, but this biography recovers at least part of what was lost.

The first account of the experience of Viennese Jewry during the First World War, exploring the wartime crises of Jewish ideology and identity.
