One of the most eloquent and moving correspondences of the
twentieth century, the letters that passed between Shiela Grant
Duff and Adam von Trott zu Solz tell of a friendship--tender,
strained, and finally tragic--between a young Englishwoman, who
became a distinguished foreign correspondent in the 1930s, and a
German Rhodes Scholar, who eventually joined the resistance against
Hitler and was executed by the Nazis after the abortive coup of
1944. The letters begin at Oxford, where Shiela and Adam moved in a
circle of friends that shared fervent dreams of social justice and
a new Europe. The story continues to the eve of war, when their
relationship shattered under the pressures of their own
temperaments and the mounting European crisis. Graceful and
evocative, these letters paint an intimate portrait of a troubled
generation of young, cosmopolitan, and politically committed
intelligentsia in the 1930s and give us a lasting record of the
social world and political tensions of the era before the Second
World War.
