Waldheim and Austria [antikvár]

ACKNO WLEDGMENTSIt is my pleasure to thank the staff of the National Library, including Herr Werner Rotter, for their help in tracing archives concerning Austria's pre-war history and the fate of many resistance movements. I am grateful also to the staff of the Vienna Haus Hof and Staatarchiv and to Frau Dr Pepelka of the Heeres-geschichdiches Museum.Also in Vienna, I owe much to long conversations with Herr Gottfried Pils, Professor Georg Eisler and Dr Georg Hofman Ostenhof Though they are unlikely to agree with my reading of recent events in Austria, I shall always be thankful for their patience and assistance. Equally helpful was the Vienna Editor of Die Kleine Zeitung, Herr Kurt Vorhofer, and Hubertus Czernin of the Austrian magazine Profil.I am also happy to thank Miss Patricia Howard, who made many invaluable suggestions, and Mr George Brock and Mr Michael Knipe, Foreign Editor and Foreign News Editor respectively of The Times, who showed great understanding for the demands this book made on my time.Vienna, 1987 Warsaw, 1988 9
