Requests:  0 Summary:  "A sweeping yet intimate narrative about the last hundred years of turbulent European history, as seen through one of Mitteleuropa's greatest houses--and the lives of its occupants"-- When Eisen moved into the US ambassador's residence in Prague, he was startled to discover swastikas hidden beneath the furniture. As he unspooled the twisting, captivating tale of some of the remarkable people who had called this palace home, he began to chronicle the upheavals that transformed the continent over the past century. He introduces us to optimistic Jewish financial baron, Otto Petschek, who built the palace after World War I; Rudolf Toussaint, the cultured, compromised German general who occupied the palace during World War II; Laurence Steinhardt, the first postwar US ambassador; and Shirley Temple Black, an eyewitness to the crushing of the 1968 Prague Spring who returned as US ambassador in 1989. -- adapted from jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 943.71203 Ei Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.71203 Eisen Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.71203 Ei Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.71203 Ei Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Eisen Ei Checked In Add Copy to MyList
