Opis

Witnessing the brutal massacre that takes his family, the six-year old survivor goes on to a childhood fraught with abusive relatives and unspeakable Tsarist orphanages. But the story of Branko Horvitch is not one of despair and destruction; it is rather an ongoing celebration of unyielding determination, while meeting all manner of challenges that confront him. From tragic beginnings to the heights of American political power, there is a taste of a bitter-sweet, but never bland life. His is a world beset by disastrous world wars, rapidly changing societies, economic depressions and iconic figures from the pages of history. Through it all he is surrounded by eclectic elements of pathos, chaos, romance and humor. The saga of Branko is a gripping portrayal of a truly altruistic advocate in his finest hours, thriving in the shadow of the very future he helps to shape.
