Waldheim: The Missing Years (1989) By Robert Edwin Herzstein
 
After two years of controversy, a balanced interpretation of the Waldheim affair has appeared. Herzstein, a leading scholar of the Nazi era, has produced a thorough analysis of Waldheim's wartime activities that are solidly rooted in primary source materials.
 
Clearly superior to Bernard Cohen and Luc Rosenzweig's irresponsible Waldheim, Herzstein's book supplements documentary analysis with personal interviews of key figures, including Waldheim himself and former Chancellor Bruno Kreisky. The book also addresses the issue of Waldheim's personal guilt in the larger context of Austria's general collaboration with the Nazis. A fine work, highly recommended for most libraries.
