Dr. Klaus Agthe recalls his youth, growing up in Thuringia, Germany during World War II, watching the changes from Hitler and the Nazis of the Third Reich, through the rise of communism, and into the Cold War. His studies in business management and economics took him from East to West Berlin and to an international post graduate study program at the University of Indiana School of Business in Bloomington. His career as an international executive, that started in Germany and brought him to America, eventually drew him back to Berlin after the Wall came down. Coming full circle he offers his memories, experiences and insights with the political drama of the twentieth century as the backdrop.
