Mosse, one of this centurys great historians, finished writing this memoir, a fascinating and fluent account of a remarkable life that spanned three continents and many of the major events of the twentieth century. Writing about the events of his life through a historians lens, Mosse gives us a personal history of our century, including his encounters with Carl Jung, Martin Buber, Albert Speer, Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Hardwick, and many others among the famous and infamous. This is a story told with the clarity, passion, and verve that entranced thousands of Mosses students and that countless readers have found, and will continue to find, in his many scholarly books. Confronting History describes Mosses opulent childhood in Weimar Berlin as the son of a prominent newspaper publisher; his exile in Paris and England, including boarding school and study at Cambridge University; his second exile in the United States at Haverford, Harvard, Iowa, and Wisconsin; and his extended stays in London and Jerusalem. Mosse also deals with matters of personal identity. He discusses being a Jew and his attachment to Israel and Zionism. He addresses his gayness, his coming out, and his growing scholarly interest in issues of sexuality. This touching memoir, sometimes harrowing, often humorous, is guided in part by Mosses belief that what man is, only history tells, and by his constant themes of the fate of liberalism, the defining events that can bring about the generational political awakenings of youth (from the anti-fascism struggles of the 1930s to the campus anti-war movement of the 1960s), the meanings of masculinity and racial and sexual stereotypes, the enigma of exile, andmost of allthe importance of finding ones self through the pursuit of truth, and through an honest and unflinching analysis of ones place in the context of his times. / Contents Illustrations Foreword 1 Introduction: On Native Ground 2 The Setting 3 Family Matters 4 Building Character in Salem 5 Experiencing Exile 6 Political Awakenings 7 Gaining a Foothold 8 The Iowa Years 9 Finally Home 10 Confronting History 11 Journey to Jerusalem 12 Excursus: London as Home 13 The Past as Present.
