Austrian Empire

Colonel Redl depicts a young man who is patriotic, ambitious and loyal towards the Habsburg Empire. Born to a poor but loyal Galician family Redl is able to receive a promotion in the military where he is eventually assigned a position as War Minister then made head of the intelligence division due to his ambition and loyalty to the state.

Despite being an evidently talented and dedicated officer, Redl earns a lot of dissent towards him and becomes subject to rumours that float around his peers; including…

Does this mean the War on Drugs is a failure? Quite simply, yes. An…

What makes the ending of “The Interlopers” surprising is the last word “wolves”, because the author makes this story with irony. The author does prepare me for the ending by having the story say “Are they your men?” asked Georg, “are they your men” he repeated impatiently, as Ulrich did not answer. “No” said Ulrich with a laugh, the idiotic chattering laugh of a man unstrung with hideous fear. “Who are they” asked Georg quickly, straining his eyes to see what the other would gladly not have…
