David Kettler immigrated to the United States in 1940. Following an advanced education in political theory at Columbia University, his long academic career has been divided among Ohio State, Trent University and Bard College. He has published 18 books as author or editor and many articles and chapters focusing on problems arising from the relations between intellectuals and the political sphere. Thomas Wheatland, who received his BA from Brown University and his MA and PhD from Boston College in German intellectual history, is associate professor of history at Assumption College in Worcester, USA. The author of The Frankfurt School in Exile (2009), he has also written numerous articles and book chapters on critical theory and its history, the exiles from Central Europe during the Second World War and the transatlantic history of social thought in the twentieth century.
A meticulous and majestic account of the life and work of the too-often-forgotten but crucially important figure of Franz Neumann. His writings on law and democracy are still indispensable for our understanding of the Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and Cold War America-and this book serves as an equally indispensable guide to them. -John P. McCormick, Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago, USA Drawing on a wealth of new sources, painstakingly reconstructing Franz Neumann's intellectual trajectory and judiciously weighing his political interventions-including Neumann's brief, but baffling role as a Soviet informant during the Second World War-David Kettler and Thomas Wheatland have written a rich and insightful study that amply rewards our patience. -Martin Jay, Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, USA
