Synopsis From early in December 1941, when "the last train left Berlin" and for Americans the gates crashed shut on Fortress Europe, we have been without authoritative new from Germany. Few people in America would have expected to get such accounts until the war was over, for normally you do no receive very clearreports from the stronghold of the enemy. Arvid Fredborg, a correspondent hitherto little known outside his native Sweden, has scooped the world.Americans with streak through Behind The Steel Wall as they would through a mystery story; the sensation is a little like walking invisible down Unter den Linden. Not everyone will agree with the author's political reporting to a neutral nation. He writes, not as a belligerent, but as an onlooker deeply concerned for the future welfare of Europe. His opinions sometimes reflect the political experiences of his own country. Americans, thus, have here the first opportunity of learning how the war in which they are taking part looks to an independent European. They have here also the immeasurably stimulating experience of watching the United Nations hit the mark.Hardcover: 256 pages Publisher: G.G.
