Endurance: A German Tale from the World War Era is the memoir of Peter Bowman, raised in 1920s-1930s Germany. His story is told as recalled during his twilight years, through the eyes of a philosophic mental health professional. Endurance is a reflective tale of rebellion against tradition, in a time when conformity was the best strategy for survival. Against the back drop of Germany’s political and cultural upheaval, Bowman strips back the traditions and tenets his family practiced as a means to maintain its social position and offers a practical and critical (and affectionate) assessment of how conformity made him the person he was, regardless of his efforts to escape it.
