This concluding volume of Elie Wiesel's memoirs begins as he is 40 years old, a writer of international repute. Determined to speak out more actively for both holocaust survivors and the disenfranchised everywhere, he sets himself a challenge to become militant—to reveal and try to mitigate the victims' solitude. His weapons are words, and here are his unstinting battles. He meets with world leaders and travels to regions ruled by war, dictatorship, racism, and exclusion in order to engage the most pressing issues of the day. His battles for peace and human dignity earned him the Nobel Peace Prize. Throughout, Wiesel remains deeply involved with his beloved Israel, and laments its internal conflicts.

He recounts behind-the-scenes events that led to the establishment of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., the feelings evoked by his return to Auschwitz, his recollections of Yitzhak Rabin, and his memories of his own vanished family. 400+ pages.  New York, NY, U.S.A.: Alfred A.
