Herbert von Karajan by Richard Osborne
Famed conductor Herbert Von Karajan has been strongly criticized for joining the Nazi party during the 1930s, when his career was beginning to flourish. In this sympathetic biography, music journalist Richard Osborne defends Karajan, asserting that the conductor was ignorant of the Nazi's evil activities. Additionally, Osborne claims that Karajan sacrificed his career to marry a woman of Jewish descent.
