All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days: The True Story of the American Woman at the Heart of the German Resistance to Hitler

A compelling and bracing story of a life lived large and brave, All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days charts the perilous career of Mildred Harnack, newly graduated, newly married, newly moved from Wisconsin to 1930s Berlin. She was witness to the destruction of a democracy, the cruelty of a demagogue's oppression and, in its face — and despite significant dangers — she chose committed resistance. Rebecca Donner's telling is taut and immersive, riveting from start to finish. It is a story that lingers long after the final page.
