Book Overview

LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com These are difficult times for those who love freedom. But they are nothing like what Mises faced during his life. He prevailed, and his Memoirs explain how. We can learn from Mises in this respect too. "How one carries on in the face of unavoidable catastrophe is a matter of temperament," wrote Ludwig von Mises in his private memoir of his life in Europe. It was true in his time and it is true in ours. This new translation and edition of Mises's moving account of his life, published by the Mises Institute, provides not only deeply fascinating personal history; it also functions as a moral and spiritual guide for any lover of liberty during times of despotism. It was written during and after his immigration to the United States in 1940. Despite being driven from his home, seeing his country taken over by a foreign dictator, having his books burned and his papers stolen, and finally pushed out of the sanctuary he had for six years, he never lost determination and never doubted the truth of liberty.

Great, but Short

After being warned about the "anger" in this book, I braced myself for an uncomfortable read. Fortunately, such an event did not materialize; I never found Mises to get out-of-hand at all. Instead, I found a great book that helped me to better understand Mises and his growth as an economist. With that said, I still wish Mises had written more about himself, as he was certainly capable of doing so.
