Book
First edition.
In this unusually wide-ranging memoir, Osnos uses a reporter's skills to portray historic events and encounters beginning with his parents' extraordinary World War II experiences escaping Europe to India, where he was born, to the present day.

As he charts the evolution of his career and recent history, he also explores the influence and impact of family, character, curiosity,luck, resilience, a well-pressed suit and some unexpected wrinkles"--
