The Baltic German Nobility, partly responsible for bringing
Christianity into the region, was a major target in the various populist
and political uprisings that took place in the early twentieth century.
In God's Hands: A Nobleman's Struggle for Survival in War and
Revolution" follows one noblewoman, Ellen von Samson-Himmelstjerna
von zur Muehlen, as she deals with these turbulent times coming from a
powerful family before the Bolshevik Revolution, to fleeing the burning
ruins of Nazi Germany towards America. Having only her spirit and will
to guide her, Muehlen tells a gripping and enthralling tale from the
first page to the last. Highly recommended to community library history
& biography shelves, and to any reader who wants a tale from the
waning days of European nobility.
