"In Assassination in Vienna, Walter B. Maass has written a dramatic account of the Nazis' first attempt to take over another country, with their conspiracy against the Austrian government in 1934 which resulted in the assassination of the Prime Minister, Englebert Dollfuss. The Conspiracy had the full approval of Hitler. Maass traces it from its beginning in the bitter web of Austrian politics, where the legitimate government was trying to ride herd on the country's two opposing private armies - one Socialist, the other Nazi."--Book Jacket.
