Description
With humor, insight, toughness, an aston- ishing energy, and small taste for fools, Dr. Hammer lays his extraordinary life before us, from its beginning on New York's Lower East Side in 1898 to the Chernobyl, Daniloff, and Goldfarb dramas of 1986. It is a story that makes us firsthand witnesses to historic private meetings with Trotsky, Lenin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, FDR, JFK, Reagan, Thatcher, Prince Charles, and Deng Xiaoping-and to a life charged with ad- venture. Whether dodging wolves on the steppes, Qaddafi's soldiers in Libya, or corporate raiders at home, Hammer has led a life packed with events and excitement.Hammer is a book filled with achievement and inspiration-in the words of Louis Nizer, "a thrilling story of the power of imagination impelled by courage and per- sistence. Most biographies add to the truth and thus subtract from it. Hammer reveals his loves and defeats as well as his incredible triumphs. ISBN:0399132759
