About the Book:

The Radetzky March is a 1932 family saga novel by Joseph Roth chronicling the decline and fall of Austria-Hungary via the story of the Trotta family. Radetzkymarsch is an early example of a story that features the recurring participation of a historical figure, in this case the Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria (1830–1916). English translations by Geoffrey Dunlop in 1933, Joachim Neugroschelin 1995 and Michael Hofmann in 2003.

Note:

A previous version of this post indicated the meeting was by Zoom only. As it turns out we do have access to the meeting room, thus it will meet by both Zoom and in-person.
