Mies van der Rohe is one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. The inventor of the modern steel-and-glass skyscraper, Mies was a found of modernism, the head of the Bauhaus, and the creator of landmarks such as the Barcelona Pavilion and the Seagram Building. His architectural style was based on aesthetic principles that reflected not only how he built, but also how he lived. In 1937 Mies came to the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. claiming that "one does not live in the past", Mies never spoke about his last years there. Did he have something to hide? Was there any truth to the rumors and accusations that surrounded his name? Architects of Fortune is an inquiry into Mies's activities in Germany from 1933 to 1937 and his relationship to the third Reich. Seeking the realities that lie behind Mies's enigmatic genius, Elaine Hochman has found that the reasons for Mies's silence are more complex than he cared to admit. As the author blends history and biography, she examines not only Mies, but a generation of Germans who struggled with the Pressures to leave their country and their desire to stay and live their lives as they wished. Ultimately, we come to see that Mies - like so many of his fellow Germans - left his country not in protest (as commonly believed), but simply as a last resort. In understanding Mies, the artistic giant whose image has shaped the modern world, we gain a new understanding of an architecture that has affected us all, as well as of this particularly significant moment in history. This is a penetrating investigation of the confrontation between this century's most acclaimed architect and its most infamous political regime.

Published in Association with the German Historical Institute, Washington, D.C. Hitler''s autobahn was more than just the pet project of an infrastructure-friendly dictator. It was supposed to revolutionize the transportation sector in Germany, connect the metropoles with the countryside, and encourage motorization. The propaganda machinery of the Third Reich turned the autobahn into a hyped-up icon of the dictatorship. One of the claims was that the roads would reconcile nature and technology. Rather than destroying the environment, they would embellish the landscape. Many historians have t
