Description

Autobiography of well-known German-born newspaper correspondent and writer Roland Hill who, a jewish teenager, fled from the nazis to London, participated in the allied invasion of Normandy and on his return to London wrote for many years about British life and politics for the German press. He is the author of several learned travel books and of biographies of Lord Acton and Mrs Margaret Thatcher. The book contains serious reflections on political and religious questions, a wealth of anecdotes about well-known personalities he has met and about British life, manners and situations, as well as a moving biography of his late wife, Mrs Amelia Nathan, who was prominent in the Action Against Allergy movement which successfully aroused the interest of the medical profession in the until then greatly ignored underlying causes of migraine.
