Title: Architects of Fortune
First published: 1989
Description: Along with Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, "Mies", more fully known as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, is one of the builders most cited in the development of Modernist architecture during the 20th century.  Much of what is known about him centers, however, on his life after he left Germany just ahead of Third Reich police.  Hochman uncovers what little is still known about his escape from Germany, as well as what made it necessary.
