Content:
It is definitely not a new biography of Hermann Gmeiner. Several biographies have already been written about him and have been translated into many languages. This, however, is a piece of historical research which was carried out with great deliberation by Horst Schreiber PhD, a historian and teacher at the University of Innsbruck. Helmut Kutin wanted the authors
· to speak very frankly and honestly about the past
· to render visible the devastating conditions of the post-war period
· to describe Hermann Gmeiner in his circle of friends
· to convey the dynamism of the team of founders
· to highlight striking moments of change in the later history of the organisation
