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

by Rebecca Donner

The books she assigns are a mix of literature, philosophy, and political theory, now and then leavened by a limerick or fable. Standing at the lectern, she wants to inspire her students, to show them a different way of seeing the world; she wants to reach these men and women in a way they haven’t been reached before.
