“Carnage and Care is a significant historical document and much-welcomed source for scholars of the military, social, and material history of World War I. It is also a valuable record for everyone interested in the history of war on the territories of present-day Ukraine and the eastern front in general. Moreover, as reflected in the diary, the Bardach biography itself serves as an interesting entry point into studying the generation of loyal Habsburg citizens who dedicated their lives to the fading imperial world and were forced to reinvent themselves in a new era of nation-states.” • Harvard Ukrainian Studies“Bernhard Bardach’s diary is a significant historical document, in some respects recalling the German Jewish Viktor Klemperer’s famous World War II Dresden diary. In addition to its detailed account of the Eastern Front, it gives a compelling portrait of an assimilated Central European Jew who fully embraced the Habsburg concept of citizenship and strongly identified with German-Austrian language and culture, only to end his life in exile and disappointment following the Nazi era.” • Istvan Deák, Columbia University
