Biography

Born in Vienna in 1924, his father died when Adamec was 5 years old. His mother died when he was 16 years old (in 1940). He did not like the Nazi ideology and described himself as a "swing kid". After numerous escapes from orphanages and attempts to cross border to Switzerland, or another non-Nazi country, he was arrested and placed in the Moringen concentration camp where he stayed until the end of the Second World War.^[2]

In 1950, he left Austria and after travels across Europe, Asia and Africa. He moved to the US in 1954, where he obtained a doctorate in Middle Eastern studies.

In 1967, he came to the University of Arizona as a scholar in Middle Eastern studies. He taught the history of Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa from about 500 A.D. to present days, and also for some time taught Arabic and Persian languages at the University. In 1975, he established a Near Eastern Center at the University and headed the Center for the subsequent 10 years.

In 1986-87 he headed the Afghanistan Branch at Voice of America.^[3]
