To The Last Salute by Maria Augusta von Trapp

A warm, personal memoir that recounts growing up in an Austrian family steeped in music, faith and tradition, portraying everyday household life, close family bonds and the joys of singing together; it also traces the wrenching effects of political upheaval on their lives, the difficult choices they faced as Nazism rose, and their resilience in leaving home to rebuild and share their music with the wider world.
