The Past is Myself

Christabel Bielenberg, a niece of newspaper magnate Lord Northcliffe, married a German lawyer in 1934. She lived through the war in Germany as a German citizen under the horrors of Nazi rule and Allied bombings. This is her story of that experience - an unforgettable portrait of an evil time.

The Road Ahead

Following the extraordinary success of her wartime memoir, The Past is Myself, Bielenberg received thousands of letters from readers begging her to describe what happened next. In The Road Ahead, she continues her story with the outbreak of peace - a time of struggle for reconciliation with, and the rebuilding of, a defeated nation. She also tells of life in her newly adopted country, Ireland, her involvement with the Peace Women of Northern Ireland, and - with characteristic modesty and gratitude - looks back on a rich, full life.

Anyone interested in the Second World War and life in the 1930s and 1940s will devour these unflinchingly honest and enthralling memoirs, published together in one edition for the first time.
