Description and Table of Contents

Description

After World War 2, German scientist Nikolaus Riehl and his family were held captive in the Soviet Union from 1945 to 1955. His story is uniquely interesting in part because of its historical content, in part because he was bilingual in German and Russian, having grown up in St Petersburg as the son of a German father and a Russian mother, and as a result of his warm human interest in the Russian people. Frederick Seitz has written a detailed introduction that provides a historical context for his translation (from German) of Riehl's book.
