Biography

Transatlantic Relations and the Great War is Kurt Bednar`s first book in English. Born 1950, he married into a Minnesota family, graduated twice from the University of Vienna, in law (1974) and in his late passion history (2012). In 2017, Bednar published, in German, "Paper War between Washington and Vienna 1917–1918".

"Bednar performs a useful service in questioning why US political leadership became so enthusiastic about dismembering the Habsburg monarchy. He draws attention to the crucial roles played by Czech American and émigré Czech lobbyists and activists and by their sympathetic interlocutors among members of the American social, political, and academic establishments." - Aviel Roshwald, Georgetown University, H_Diplo
