Summary
"Andre Schiffrin was born the son of one of France's most esteemed publishers, into a world that included some of the day's leading writers and intellectuals. But this world was torn apart when the Nazis marched into Paris on young Andre's fifth birthday. Beginning with the family's dramatic escape to Casablanca and eventually to New York, A Political Education recounts the surprising twists and turns of a life that saw Schiffrin, despite his radically altered circumstances, become, himself, one of the world's most respected publishers."--BOOK JACKET.
