Island of Peace in an Ocean of Unrest: The Letters of Dorothy von Moltke

Dorothy von Moltke's perceptive letters—now being published for the first time in their original English—tell the story of her life in Germany before and during World War I, the Weimar Period, and the rise of Nazism. The letters include an intimate view of the upbringing of the von Moltkes’ eldest son, Helmuth James von Moltke, the celebrated hero of the German resistance who was hanged by the Nazis in January 1945.
