Rebecca Donner – All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days

In All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days, Rebecca Donner tells the story of her great-great-aunt, Mildred Harnack, whom historians identify as the only American in the leadership of the German resistance against the Nazis. Her remarkable story has remained almost unknown — until now.
Rebecca Donner’s essays, reportage, and reviews have appeared in numerous publications, including the New York Times, Bookforum, Guernica, and The Believer.
