Autorenporträt

Justus Rosenberg was born in Gdäsk, Poland in 1921. When the Nazis rose to power, he moved to France, where he joined an extralegal French-US network that helped to bring anti-fascist intellectuals and artists from Vichy, France to the United States. He subsequently served with the French Resistance and then the US Army. For his wartime service, Rosenberg received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. He has taught at American universities for 70 years, and is professor emeritus at Bard College.

Rezensionen

"The very existence of The Art of Resistance is its most remarkable feature. But the story, too, is a good one, recounted with astonishing lucidity. It's a picaresque tale of a teenager who survives assorted perils by dint of luck, courage and his intellectual gifts, encountering various famous people along the way." Forward
