A large portion of the work describes his escape to England after the invasion of Austria by Hitler 1938, further emigration to Shanghai in 1940, refugee life in Shanghai while waiting for a visa to any safe country before war was declared with Japan, and eventual settling in Berkeley, Calif. in 1941. He describes experiences as a journalist and writer in Vienna, London, Shanghai, and the San Francisco Bay area, and mentions his long career at the University of California Press in Berkeley. Partial tables of contents for the sections are included, as well as an extensive index.
