Army GI, Pacifist CO
Frank and Albert Dietrich were identical twins whose lives took very different directions during World War II. Drafted into the Army Air Corps and trained as a radio operator, Frank was shipped to the Philippines in 1945, where as a sergeant in the Fifth Air Force he prepared for the invasion of Japan. Albert, a pacifist, struggled mightily to become a conscientious objector and spent two years building dams, saving farmland, and helping the poor at Civilian Service Camps in South Dakota, Iowa, and Florida. Raised in a close, religious, Pittsburgh family, Frank and Albert were inseparable as boys, sharing a strong social conscience. Divided by war, they kept in touch by writing hundreds of l...

Hermann Dietrich
Hermann Dietrich war einer der wichtigsten Vertreter des Weimarer Liberalismus und zählte zu den Spitzenpolitikern der ersten deutschen Demokratie. Desiderius Meier verknüpft politik-, sozial- und kulturgeschichtliche Fragestellungen und betrachtet diesen liberalen Bürger als Repräsentanten der Weimarer Epoche. Er untersucht Dietrichs Verflechtung mit den politischen Ereignissen, nicht zuletzt seine zentrale Rolle als Finanzminister in der Weltwirtschaftskrise, aber auch den Alltag des Reichstagsabgeordneten, die Praxis liberaler Partei- und Pressepolitik sowie die Ambivalenzen, die sein politisches Denken durchzogen. Darüber hinaus nimmt er Dietrichs bürgerliche Lebenswelt in den Blick. Schwerpunkte bilden die Analyse seiner materiellen Existenz, die sich anhand neuentdeckter Quellen im Detail rekonstruieren lässt und die Krisenwahrnehmungen, die mit den wirtschaftlichen Turbulenzen der Weimarer Zeit einhergingen.

Hugo Wolf
A groundbreaking look at one of the great song composers of the late Romantic period In the virtual cottage industry of works on fin de siècle Vienna, Hugo Wolf (1860–1903) has been somewhat neglected, perhaps because he was the master of a small genre—the late Romantic lied—and never truly made his mark in the larger forms that command greater public attention. But in the realm of song, he is among the greatest inheritors of Schubert and Schumann, one who was both a traditionalist and a modernist. When the Viennese critic Eduard Hanslick disapprovingly dubbed Wolf “the Richard Wagner of the lied,” he was paying oblique homage to Wolf’s genius as a song composer in the most mode...
