"Redrawing Europe: The Treaties of Saint-Germain and Trianon" is a comprehensive exploration of the two treaties that marked the end of World War I and the redrawing of Europe's political map.

The book delves into the complex negotiations and key players involved in the treaty-making process, from representatives of Austria-Hungary and the newly-formed Republic of Austria to the Allied powers that oversaw the treaties' implementation. It also examines the specific provisions of the treaties, which established the borders of the new Republic of Austria and redrew Hungary's borders, creating a number of new states in Central Europe.

The book considers the impact of the treaties on Austria and Hungary, examining the economic, political, and social consequences of the territorial changes and new state formations. It also looks at how the treaties were received by other countries and international organizations, including the League of Nations.

In addition to exploring the historical legacies of the treaties, "Redrawing Europe" reflects on their ongoing relevance to contemporary debates about borders, self-determination, and international law. It considers critiques of the treaties' impact on nationalist movements and the rise of authoritarianism in the interwar period, as well as contemporary challenges related to ethnic and national tensions in Central Europe.

Throughout the book, the art of diplomacy is emphasized, offering insights into the negotiation strategies that led to the Treaties of Saint-Germain and Trianon and the lessons they hold for modern diplomacy. "Redrawing Europe" is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and politics of Central Europe, the legacy of World War I, and the art of international diplomacy.
