In Twilight in Vienna, first published in its English translation in 1938, Austrian-British journalist Willi Frischauer examines the sociological aspects, the reign of poverty, the lack of jobs, the morass of debt and financial chaos, and the lust for luxurious indulgence— all of which led up to revolutionary ideas, militarization, and finally a reactionary government.
Frischauer addresses the decline of moral values and the prevalence of predatory love—a crime wave extending into all spheres.
The final chapters deal with Dollfuss' and Schuschnigg's fight against dictatorship.
Drawing on a vast amount of material, cases and documentation, the book paints a tragic picture of the decline of a great country.
“A good first hand reportorial job, written with emotion […], and giving an inside picture of the conditions and mores of Austria.”—Kirkus Review
