Maybe around 1990 my brother the musician got it into his head that they had to do a show about Kreisler. Would I write it?

This was the book that inspired Bernard and it couldn't be more different than the insipid Wiki article on Kreisler. He loved the violin, he loved having fun.

Lively account by a skilled journalist who came up through the ranks of the labor/liberal press in the US -- when there was such a thing -- then became an imporant witness to the rise of National Socilaism iin Europe, and became very important to two generations of serious readers as the English-language translator of the diaries of Dr. Goebbels.
