PAPERBACK BOOK

Hitler's Exiles is an extraordinary first-hand account of the German Academy, which was established in 1936 as a platform for German intellectuals in America to speak out against Hitler. Its membership covered the leading German-speaking intellectuals who went into exile in opposition to Hitler's Nazi government

- including such eminent names as Albert Einstein, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Mann, Prince Hubertus zu Löwenstein and Bertolt Brecht.

The main aim of the Academy was to show the world that Hitler and the Nazis were not representative of Germany, and that their country could resume its place in the civilized and humane world. Together, its members helped to shape intellectual and cultural developments in the Western world in the second half of the twentieth century.

Volkmar Zühlsdorff was a founding member of the German Academy. He was one of the political editors of Die Zeit and served in the German Diplomatic Service in Los Angeles, Bangkok and Ottawa. He has recently received the Grosses Bundesverdienstkreuz from the German President.

The English translation is by Martin Bott.

Good to very good condition with signs of use and inscription to front page.
