Scope and Content
Beside the exchange of personal impressions, for instance about visits of East and West Berlin, the correspondence focuses mainly on the publication On the Track of Tyranny, a Wiener Library Festschrift for Leonard Montefiore. This includes the submission of Kluke’s contributing article, its modification, the dispatch of review copies of the book, and advice on potential purchasers in West Germany. Furthermore, the planning of a visit of Kluke during a conference in Oxford is subject of the correspondence. Aside from letters one post card is contained.
