This book deals with the modernisation of the army personnel system and the influence of this process on the society of Austria-Hungary. The main method of this book is the comparative analysis of military modernisation at the imperial level and using the example of the peripheral province of the empire - Austrian Galicia. Such an analytical model, supported by a solid archival base, provides a complex picture of modernity. It includes an examination of the fates of ordinary people from Central Europe and the most important influences of military service on their daily lives. The idea of the book is to show both the positive and negative aspects of the introduction of universal conscription for the majority of the empire's population.
