Escape Via Berlin first appeared in 1944, to critical acclaim; this reprint will introduce new audiences to the magic of de Aguirre’s first-person drama. . . . Aguirre’s spiritual, political and social revelations and his observations of changes and events of the times permeates an engrossing review of his challenging escape from a seemingly impossible situation.” —Diane C. Donovan,
The Midwest Book Review, September 1991
“The most remarkable escape story that has yet to come out of the war. . . . It has elevation, and it has truth. In brief, a highly civilized book by a highly civilized man.” —
The New Yorker ""Mingled with the raw melodrama are observations and impressions of an acute intelligence trained by much study and reflection."" —
