The Danube Flows Through Fascism 1938 William Van Til Pre-WWII 900 Miles In Boat

Description: “The true story told in real time of a kayak trip by a young American couple from Long Island down the Danube River in 1937, a courageous adventure on their own in a single craft in the shadow of the coming Nazi domination of Europe. From the source of the river in Germany and on through Austria, Hungary, and Jugoslavia, the narrative carries the reader into an understanding of the historical, social and natural context of the era through the richness of the characters and landscapes encountered along the central artery of life and commerce in the pre-war heart of the continent. The gathering clouds of war are looming over every scenic hillside and casting a sense of foreboding over every conversation with the scores of people met along the great river. Reading this book is like a trip in a time machine to an era that would soon be altered and in many cases eradicated from the face of the earth. The two months on the river cover 900 miles of currents both of water and of history, providing insights into the lives of the millions of people who lived on or near the river, and a hint of the cataclysmic changes that would affect hundreds of millions of people and almost the entire planet within a few short years.” This book is in good condition with some wear.
