During the Great War he was imprisoned in Siberia by the Russians, learning French, German and English before escaping from incarceration. He arrived in America in 1922, where he lectured history and world affairs as a faculty member of NYU. He wrote extensively on Germany during the 30's and 40's and many of his books were banned by the Nazis. Item #51592
