520    The stunning story of the breathtaking journey of nine 
       extraordinary men from Budapest to the New World, what 
       they experienced along their dangerous route, and how they
       changed America and the world.In a style both personal and
       historically groundbreaking, acclaimed author Kati Marton 
       (herself born in Budapest) tells the tale of their youth 
       in Budapest's Golden Age of the early twentieth century, 
       their flight, and their lives of extraordinary 
       accomplishment, danger, glamour, and poignancy.Marton 
       follows these nine over the decades as they flee fascism 
       and anti-Semitism, seek sanctuary in America and England, 
       and set out to make their mark. The scientists Leo Szilard,
       Edward Teller, and Eugene Wigner enlist Albert Einstein to
       get Franklin Roosevelt to initiate the development of the 
       atomic bomb. Along with John von Neuman, who pioneers the 
       computer, they succeed in achieving that goal before Nazi 
       Germany, ending the Second World War, and opening a new 
       age.Arthur Koestler writes the most important anti-
       Communist novel of the century, Darkness at Noon. Robert 
       Capa is the first photographer ashore on D-Day. He 
       virtually invents photojournalism and gives us some of the
       century's most enduring records of modern warfare.Andre 
       Kertesz pioneers modern photojournalism, and Alexander 
       Korda, who makes propaganda films for Churchill, leaves 
       the stark portrait of a post war Europe with The Third Man,
       as his fellow filmmaker, Michael Curtiz, leaves us the 
       immortal Casablanca, a call to arms and the most famous 
       romantic film of all time.Marton brings passion and 
       breadth to these dramatic lives as they help invent the 
       twentieth century.
