Ein Glücksfall für die Historiker: Harry Graf Kessler (1868 - 1937) beschreibt das Zeitgeschehen im Jahr 1926. Josephine Baker trifft im Februar in Berlin ein. Mit ihr und um sie herum werden die Zwanziger Jahre in Berlin wild und golden. Viele Berichte zu spätnächtlichen Vergnügungen unter Künstlern und anderen "halbseidenen" Persönlichkeiten (einschließlich Politikern). Dagegen ist das von einem faszinierten Graf Kessler beschriebene Portrait Elsa Brandströms ein angenehmer hoher Ruhepunkt.

This second volume of the best-selling diaries of Henry 'Chips' Channon takes us from the heady aftermath of the Munich agreement, when the prime minister Chips so admired was credited with having averted a general European conflagration, through the rapid unravelling of appeasement, and on to the tribulations of the early years of the Second World War. It closes with a moment of hope, as Channon, in recording the fall of Mussolini in July 1943, reflects: 'The war must be more than half over.'
