Yuri Radzievsky, a major TV personality in the Soviet Union, was forced to flee from the USSR and settle in the US, with no English, no money, and no friends. There, in partnership with his wife Anna, he attained astounding success in that most American of all businesses, advertising. His book is an autobiography, but it reads like a thriller full of detective plots, crime stories, and incredible adventures. Every story is told with the dazzling humor and self-irony typical of the author. Place: Moscow and Riga, Vienna and Rome, New York, and Siberia. Time: From the 1940s to the present.
