Notes | John Gunther writes about the political and economic problems and the civil war in Austria. The novel is a roman à clef, presenting the likenesness of his journalistic colleagues, portraits of major figures in the political and financial world in Vienna and foreign diplomats, such as the American minister Messersmith - here named Heather-Smith. It could have been published already in 1936 but the publishers in the U.S. and in England feared libel suits from the depicted persons (even though they were given other names). This is why the book was only published in 1964. The book is dedicated to Wilhelm Stekel whom Gunther consulted while in Vienna. |
