Summary: This book first delves into the author's ancestry, thereby providing a partial slice of Russian Jewish history.

It also gives a personal account of the rise and development of Jewish national awareness. It next describes a struggle for the immigration to Israel in the late 1960s and the early 1970s through job loss, persecution, arrests, imprisonment, and trial. It further relates the author's life in Israel, including his work at the Voice of Israel, study at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and service in the Israel Defense Forces. Finally, it explores the author's academic career in the United States, from the graduate school at the University of Illinois to professorship at Cornell University.
