byMax Boot

Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the wider field of biography & autobiography. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
