The first major archivally based study of the political career of Wenzel Anton Kaunitz, State Chancellor of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1753 to 1792. Author of the diplomatic revolution of 1756 and brilliant foreign minister, Kaunitz emerges from this study as the key figure in the development of enlightened absolutism and in the modernisation of the Austrian state.
