The frank memoir of a Berkeley Professor born in Paris. It covers his escape from France in 1942, his life in Mexico, studies at Harvard, settling in California, service in the Kennedy Administration, the World Bank and UNESCO and final appointment at Berkeley starting in the turbulent year of 1968. The writing is vivid and honest, candid where it can be. It is a ground level view of many of the great events of our times particularly the Diaspora of the 20th century and the flood-tide of American political, economic and cultural influence in the latter half of the last and beginning of this century.Guy Benveniste has published many books on organizations and planning. but this memoir goes beyond to help us understand how passion, love, and feelings shape our individual destinies.
