In My Time is a vivid account of the fascinating life of Robert
Strausz-Hupe, who served American presidents for twenty years in a
variety of diplomatic posts. It is a life filled with both
excitement and tragedy. In this autobiography, Strausz-Hupe covers
a wide range of topics, including his youth in Vienna, his familial
background, and his schooling. The author also discusses his
emigration to the United States, describing his initial impressions
of the country as well as how he viewed the changes that were
occurring in American society and culture. Strausz-Hupe has written
a poignant introduction for the republication of this volume. He
explains how he reaches out to history for an explanation of who he
is as an individual. Just as entire nations should learn from
history, so should individuals, as Strausz-Hupe has attempted to do
in his autobiography. Robert Strausz-Hupe is one of those
increasingly rare, universally educated men whose minds conform
only to their own beliefs and findings. His views of events such as
the rise of German Nazism, or Chinese Communism, or the world of
the theater in Europe between the two world wars are always fresh,
exciting, and informed. In My Time will be enjoyed by all who read
it, especially historians, political theorists, and policymakers.
