      Doskonale udokumentowana i barwnie napisana, zasługuje na miejsce wśród klasyki historii militarnej. - „The Times” Książka roku „BBC History Magazine” i „Financial Times”, uhonorowana Distinguished Book Award 2021 przez Society for Military History, nominowana do Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History i The British Army Military Book of the Year. We wrześniu 1914 roku, zaledwie miesiąc po wybuchu pierwszej wojny światowej, armia rosyjska rozpoczęła oblężenie Przemyśla. Wieloetniczne miasto zamieniono w twierdzę, która stanowiła najważniejszy bastion broniący monarchii habsburskiej przed najazdem. Przez sześć miesięcy, odpierając szturmy i zmagając się z głodem, wielonarodowa załoga twierdzy stawiała zacięty opór, uniemożliwiając Rosjanom osiągnięcie szybkiego zwycięstwa, które pozwoliłoby wygrać całą wojnę. Miasto padło dopiero w marcu 1915 roku, co oznaczało początek okupacji, prześladowań i pierwszej brutalnej czystki antysemickiej, jakiej doświadczyła Europa Środkowo-Wschodnia w XX wieku. Wybitny historyk Alexander Watson opowiada o najdłuższym oblężeniu Wielkiej Wojny, pokazując, w jaki sposób zwiastowała ona nadejście wojny totalnej w Europie. To najbardziej wnikliwy opis tamtej kluczowej kampanii frontu wschodniego pierwszej wojny światowej, ukazujący jej grozę i niezliczone ludzkie tragedie. Ta książka to znacznie więcej niż tylko opis najdłuższego oblężenia wielkiej wojny, które przyczyniło się do powstrzymania rosyjskiego natarcia i uchroniło państwa centralne przed klęską w 1914 roku. Przy okazji bowiem ukazuje ona w mikroskali wszystko to, co było szalone, złe i niebezpieczne w monarchii austro-węgierskiej w końcowym etapie jej istnienia. […] Jest to świetnie napisana książka, która będzie doskonałą lekturą dla każdego, kto usiłuje pojąć mroczną stronę dwudziestowiecznej Europy. - Adam Zamoyski, autor 1812. Wojny z Rosją, Warszawy 1920 i Urojonego widma rewolucji.

      In the autumn of 1914 Europe was at war. The battling powers had already suffered casualties on a scale previously unimaginable. On both the Western and Eastern fronts elaborate war plans lay in ruins and had been discarded in favour of desperate improvisation. In the West this resulted in the remorseless world of the trenches; in the East all eyes were focused on the old, beleaguered Austro-Hungarian fortress of Przemysl. The great siege that unfolded at Przemysl was the longest of the whole war. In the defence of the fortress and the struggle to relieve it Austria-Hungary suffered some 800,000 casualties. Almost unknown in the West, this was one of the great turning points of the conflict. If the Russians had broken through they could have invaded Central Europe, but by the time the fortress fell their strength was so sapped they could go no further. Alexander Watson, prize-winning author of Ring of Steel, has written one of the great epics of the First World War. Comparable to Stalingrad in 1942-3, Przemysl shaped the course of Europe's future. Neither Russians nor Austro-Hungarians ever recovered from their disasters. Using a huge range of sources, Watson brilliantly recreates a world of long-gone empires, broken armies and a cut-off community sliding into chaos. The siege was central to the war itself, but also a chilling harbinger of what would engulf the entire region in the coming decades, as nationalism, anti-semitism and an exterminatory fury took hold
