In Ganze Männer? (Campus Verlag, 2022) Christa Hämmerle examines the societal meanings, functions, and the implementation of universal conscription introduced in 1868 in Austria-Hungary. In his review Tobias Neubauer writes that Hämmerle’s book not only shows the impact universal conscription had on conscripted men, but also on women, families, politics, military, society, and gender (conceptions) in the Habsburg Monarchy, thus providing fruitful ground for further research.
