Muriel's War: An American Heiress in the Nazi Resistance ReviewI loved the title -- "Muriel's War" -- and upon its release, purchased it. I treasure books, everything about a book. I even read the copyright page. "Muriel's War", I noticed as I flipped through its pages, has copious notes at the end, a hefty bibliography and a thorough index. It looked like a textbook.
Then I read it.
"Muriel's War" is nobody's textbook! What it is, on the other hand, is the moving story of an American heiress who risks her own life to save thousands of Jews from the Nazis in Vienna, Austria. Although born to priviledge, Muriel would not be remembered as a grand dame of high society. Her heart took her on an entirely different course, a dangerous journey that would save others but keep her own life in jeopardy in the 1920's and into WWII.
Muriel left the U.S, moved to Vienna where she entered medical school, following her fascination of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic movement. It wasn't long until Germany invaded Austria and sent the Jews into hiding. It was at this point that Muriel steps forward to fulfill her destiny and become the savior of the Austrian Jews.
Austria was quickly falling down around her and the weak, little nation with its starving populace stood directly and helplessly in the Nazi crosshairs. As an American, Muriel was free to return to her homeland at any time, but, instead, dug in her heels and remained in her adopted country.
In spite of the chaos, the author writes of Muriel's love affairs, a marriage, a child, more lovers and shows us the personal side of this brave, determined woman. What stood out for me was Isenberg's honesty in giving the readers all of Muriel's traits -- the humanitarian as well as the oh-so-human and I felt Isenberg wrote of Muriel as a dear friend. I appreciated this and applaud her as an author in telling the truth about her character.
If you wish to read a book that offers a challenge, "Muriel's War" is it! It is not simply a book that chronicles amazing efforts and deeds for those living in fear during the war, it is an inspiring narrative about one American woman who made a difference.
The author takes us all the way to the end of Muriel's life, which is really the beginning of her eternal legacy of saving so many lives.
I sincerely loved every aspect of this book.
