Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 – 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen in den Jahren 1930 + 1931. Seine Beobachtungen sind sehr genau und zeugen von der Bildung eines aufgeklärten Europäers. Besonders elegant sind die etwas schmunzelnden manchmal aber auch etwas bitter klingenden voranschreitenden Kommentare. Ein Rezensent drückte es sehr treffend aus: "Ein wunderbarer Zeitzeuge, klug und aufmerksam". 30/31 sind die Jahre des Aufstiegs der Nazis und deren Kriege mit den liberaleren Kräften.
