On the coverJoanna Neborsky considers it the lucky assignment that allows her to dust off her supply of archival materials—in this case, a stack of books on military history. For the cover art to accompany "From Ashes to Amity," Neborsky deployed a cutout of a German soldier standing guard in Müssingen in 1987. "The German flag became a dark, watery landscape in which he could stand for a country caught between the crimes of history and a cautiously hopeful future," she says. She dedicates the cover to the memory of her grandfather Stanley Steinbach, A&S '42.
