Author: Herbst, Jurgen

Condition: new

Jurgen Herbsts account of growing up in Nazi Germany from 1928 to 1948 is a boys experience of anti-Semitism and militarism from the inside. Herbst was a middle-class boy in a Lutheran family that saw value in Prussian military ideals and a mythic German past. His memoir is a compelling, understated tale of moral awakening.
