A noted journalist and best-selling author gives us a glimpse into Budapest’s Golden Age by following the lives of nine Jewish men as they flee anti-Semitism in Hungary for a new life in the United States. This engaging group portrait retraces the steps of four history-changing scientists (Edward Teller, John von Neumann, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner), who helped launch the nuclear age and the computer; two filmmakers (Michael Curtiz, director of Casablanca, and Alexander Korda, producer of The Third Man); two legendary photojournalists (Robert Capa and Andre Kertesz); and one influential writer (Arthur Koestler, author of Darkness at Noon). Through their individual achievements, these remarkable individuals helped shape American history.
