All The Frequent Troubles Of Our Days
By Rebecca Donner
Published by Canongate: UK 2021 1st Edition

"All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days by Rebecca Donner tells the extraordinary true story of Mildred Harnack, an American scholar who became one of the central figures in the underground resistance against Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. Moving to Berlin in the 1930s with her German husband, Arvid Harnack, Mildred initially pursued academic work while witnessing the rapid rise of Nazism and the destruction of democratic freedoms. As Hitler tightened his grip on Germany, she transformed from an observer into an active resister, helping to build a covert anti-Nazi network dedicated to exposing the regime's crimes and aiding those persecuted by it.

The book traces how Mildred and her associates organized secret meetings, distributed anti-Nazi leaflets, gathered intelligence, and maintained connections with foreign governments and resistance groups. Donner vividly recreates the atmosphere of fear and surveillance in wartime Berlin, where even small acts of dissent could lead to imprisonment or execution. Using letters, diaries, Gestapo files, and newly uncovered family archives, the author portrays Mildred as intelligent, courageous, and deeply committed to justice despite the immense personal risks. The narrative also examines the Gestapo's relentless efforts to dismantle resistance networks and the tragic consequences faced by those caught opposing the Nazi regime.

In its final sections, the book recounts Mildred Harnack's arrest, trial, and execution in 1943 after Hitler personally intervened to demand a harsher sentence. Donner presents Mildred not only as a political activist but as a complex human being whose ideals, relationships, and moral convictions shaped her resistance. Blending biography, history, and political thriller, the work restores attention to a woman largely overlooked in mainstream histories of World War II. All the Frequent Troubles of Our Days ultimately becomes both a tribute to individual courage and a reflection on the enduring importance of resisting authoritarianism and defending human dignity."
