The Unheeded Warning richly portrays the turbulent interwar period in Vienna and Berlin through the eyes of one of the century's foremost intellectuals and activists. Psychologist, novelist, essayist, and revolutionary, Manès Sperber begins his story in Vienna when he was thirteen years old and concludes the book—which is the second volume of his three-volume autobiography, All Our Yesterdays—with a gripping account of his imprisonment and release by the Germans in Berlin.

Manès Sperber won the Georg Büchner Prize and, shortly before his death in 1984, the prestigious German Book Trade Peace Prize. He wrote many works of fiction and nonfiction, including his acclaimed trilogy, Like a Tear in the Ocean.
