Kurt von Schuschnigg, the Austrian chancellor from 1934 to 1938, along with members of his family, had to pay a high price for his resistance to the evil of tyranny. . . . I am profoundly grateful to Janet von Schuschnigg for this contribution to an American understanding of Austria's history during this period. From the Foreword by Christoph Cardinal Schoenborn, Archbishop of Vienna, Austria This is a graphic and dramatic first-person account of a crucial period in modern history. It is both riveting and inspiring. - James Hitchcock, Professor of History, Saint Louis University When Hitler Took Austria is a crackling good story. I love stories that recreate the world of 1938 and 1939, when all of Europe began to learn how cruel and murderous the Gestapo could be. And I especially love stories of chases over the snowy mountains as dissidents heave strained frosty breaths trying to stay just ahead of the Gestapo they know is getting closer. And it is even better when it is a story of a hero for faith and human honor such as the son of the Austrian chancellor. If you want to understand how our present world came to be, don't miss this book. - Michael Novak, Scholar in Religion, Philosophy and Public Policy, American Enterprise Institute
