Call[s] on people not just to see the world, but to be moved and interested by what they find there, and to do something about it. -Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic This is a book born out of an extraordinary life, much of it spent plunging into the world's most troubled and crucial places, a life committed to an internationalism that is not owned by the powerful, and to visions of France, Europe and liberty that can't be understood by bureaucrats. A passionate, engaged book that combines philosophy, war reportage, and autobiography to explore the creation of a brilliant and brave mind. -Salman Rushdie
