In ''Last Waltz in Vienna'' he recounts his childhood and life as a Jew in Vienna and goes on to describe Hitler's rise to power and the catastrophe that followed, including his parents' death in Auschwitz. It also tells of his escape to Ireland, where he married Lisl Beck the day after Kristallnacht, and subsequent enlistment in the British Army, first in the Pioneer Corps and then in the Royal Artillery.
In ''Berlin Days'' he recounts his work at the denazification bureaucracy, where he became highly skilled in identifying lies and omissions in application forms.
