Son of the famous American journalist Louis Fischer, who
corresponded from Germany and then Moscow, and the Russian writer
Markoosha Fischer, Victor Fischer grew up in the shadow of Hitler
and Stalin, watching his friends' parents disappear after political
arrests. Eleanor Roosevelt personally engineered the Fischer
family's escape from Russia, and soon afterwards Victor was serving
in the United States Army in World War II and fighting against his
childhood friends in the Russian and German armies. As a young
adult, he went on to help shape Alaska's map by planning towns
throughout the state. This unique autobiography recounts Fischer's
earliest days in Germany, Russia, and Alaska, where he soon entered
civic affairs and was elected as a delegate to the Alaska
Constitutional Convention - the body responsible for establishing
statehood in the territory. A move to Washington, DC, and further
government appointments allowed him to witness key historic events
of his era, which he also recounts here. Finally, Fischer brings
his memoir up to the present, describing how he has returned to
Russia many times to bring the lessons of Alaska freedom and
prosperity to the newly democratic states.
