After growing up in Berlin and serving in Rommel's Africa Corps in World War II, Karl Rickels became a prisoner of war in May 1943.

When a psychiatric residency position opened at a mental hospital in Iowa, Dr. Rickels accepted the opportunity and immigrated to the United States. Dr. Rickels suddenly found himself at the forefront of an exciting new science, psychopharmacology. 16 pages of photos, in addition to the page count. With Appendices, Notes.
