Shadows of War: A German Life in the Century of Extremes ReviewBorn in 1930, Klaus Agthe was only 15 years old when the Nazis had utterly ruined his country. Having survived World War II, he and his family found themselves on the wrong side of the historical tracks, the Soviet Occupation Zone. With remarkable determination and luck he escaped to freedom in Berlin just in time. An academic scholarship offered by Indiana University's acclaimed Business School became a turning point in his educational and career development. A successful life as an international business executive, first based in Europe, followed. This career reached new heights after moving to the United States and becoming a citizen, only to return to the German Democratic Republic after its collapse in 1990 in order to contribute to its economic recovery. His life's vivid tale offers comparative insights into the qualitative differences between diametrically opposed systems on German soil.
Klaus Agthe's story had to be told. It is a transatlantic success story made possible by the closely knit political, economic and military alliance between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany during the long years of the Cold War. This book deserves to be read on either side of the Atlantic, especially by young people. Publication of this book by a German publisher, therefore, should be seriously considered.
W. DexheimerShadows of War: A German Life in the Century of Extremes OverviewDr. Klaus Agthe recalls his youth, growing up in Thuringia, Germany during World War II, watching the changes from Hitler and the Nazis of the Third Reich, through the rise of communism, and into the Cold War. His studies in business management and economics took him from East to West Berlin and to an international post graduate study program at the University of Indiana School of Business in Bloomington. His career as an international executive, that started in Germany and brought him to America, eventually drew him back to Berlin after the Wall came down. Coming full circle he offers his memories, experiences and insights with the political drama of the twentieth century as the backdrop. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
