Saving Freud: The Rescuers Who Brought Him to Freedom

byAndrew Nagorski

A dramatic true story about Sigmund Freud’s last-minute escape to London following the German annexation of Austria and the group of friends who made it possible. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Saving Freud moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Saving Freud within biography & autobiography and history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Saving Freud emphasizes the specific circumstances that made this story possible and the consequences that followed.
