Summary
"This compelling biography traces the life and times of pediatrician Wilhelm Strauss from his childhood in Prague and his late Hapsburg monarchy medical education in Vienna, to his practice of social medicine in Wiener Neustadt during the Julius Tandler era. It continues with the painful disruptions of the 'Anschluss' and his forced exile in Baghdad, and concludes unexpectedly in New York State, USA. Reproduced in the book are valuable documents in Strauss' own words describing the state of pediatric medicine at the beginning of the First Austrian Republic" -- (from back cover).
