Description: In an anecdote-filled narrative etched with telling portraits and impressions of such figures as Gorbachev, Thatcher, Meir, Kohl, Khrushchev, Begin, Ceausescu, Rabin, Walesa, Bush, Peres, and Netanyahu, Bronfman takes us inside a life filled with events: his battles for the rights and freedom of Soviet Jews; his seminal role in unmasking Kurt Waldheim; his negotiations to restore Jewish property seized by the Nazis and the Communists; his efforts to rebuild after the murderous bombings in Argentina.
