"""Corngold offers a shrewd and balanced take on a much-studied figure. This sharp, focused work will impress historians and scholars of German literature."" * Publishers Weekly * ""Corngold documents, in depth and with an excellent eye for detail, [an] important stage in Mann’s American life. . . . The picture of Mann that emerges from his book is rich, multilayered and always fascinating.""---Costica Bradatan, Washington Post ""[The book] shows how great novelist Thomas Mann fared after fleeing Hitler’s Germany. He understood how German conservatives feared Communism, backed Hitler as a bulwark against the Bolsheviks, and learned too late that the Fuhrer’s fury was as deadly as Stalin’s.""---Marvin Olasky, World ""This well-written study provides an in-depth account of Thomas Mann’s tenure at Princeton. . . . Corngold’s book is a welcome contribution."" * Choice Reviews * ""A vivid testimony to the profound disconcertions of a life and mind in transit and offers an immensely insightful account of the intellectual and personal quandaries that preoccupied Thomas Mann in Princeton.""---Margarete Tiessen, German History ""Absorbing.""---Alex Ross, The Rest is Noise"
