Then comes the post-war fever of revolution, civil war, communism quickly crushed, the youth movement," (Kirkus) and finally the realization that she can never support Hitler, even as her family and most of her friends see him as the hero that Germany needs, and so it ends as she is leaving Germany. xi, 431 pp
