"The name George Soros is recognized around the world. Universally known for his decades of philanthropy, progressive politics, and investment success, he is equally well-known as the nemesis of the right--the target of sustained attacks from national populists, authoritarian regimes, and anti-Semites in the United States and around the world--because of his commitment to open society, freedom of the press, and liberal democracy. Named the Financial Times Person of the Year for 2018, and now at 91 years old, he still looms large on the global stage. And yet the man himself is surprisingly little understood. Depending on who or where you are, describing Soros is likely to elicit different answers. He has even more identities than he has lived decades, now into his tenth. Who is George Soros, really? And why does this question matter? Over the years, attempts have been made to write George Soros's biography, but no single account of his life can capture its extraordinary multi-faceted character. In addition to survivor, billionaire, speculator, philanthropist, activist, author, nemesis of the far right, and global citizen, there is husband, father, and to an extent he may not even realize, friend. The writers whose work appears in this volume have approached Soros from wide-ranging and unique perspectives. Their collective expertise shines a new light on the activities and passions of George Soros' life and, to the extent possible, the motivation for them and their impact. The breadth of these portrayals is considerable; the depth of insight, it is hoped, equally so. The goal is to give readers the best possible representation of George Soros's life that can be achieved. George Soros's life in full"--

The pages of this book reveal a truly uncommon life obtained from a highly credible and competent source. The author of the recollections was born into one of the richest families in Hungary in 1924. The young man clearly had practically unlimited opportunities but chose a medical career in order to help poor people. These plans came to naught after the German occupation of Hungary in March, 1944. Fortunately he and his family some of the wealthiest citizens of the country were able to leave Hungary under an agreement with the Germans and were taken safely to Portugal. Thomas came to the United States in 1945 and, after some military service, resumed his education culminating eventually in a professorship in anesthesiology. He was most active in the development of education in respiratory care and is the author of some seventy papers and books. In the present volume he not only clearly demonstrates his deep obligation to his adopted country but also gives a sharp and sometimes incisive picture of his childhood, youth and extended family.
