The text is presented as a personal memoir of a political refugee who participated in many of the seminal political events of modern history. It is written in the first-person point of view which is appropriate and ensures an engaging and accessible text. Kovály, the author, is also the primary participant in most aspects of the narrative—as expected for a book of this type. Kovály is clearly qualified to deliver the book.
