O knihe

This book is a true-to-life collection of 30 short stories from physicist and electrical engineer Roman Litovsky chronicling his family's harrowing emigration journey in 1989 from Ukraine to the United States during the height of the impending collapse of the USSR. It provides in detail his life in Kyiv, traveling throughout Europe to gain freedom from the oppressive Soviet regime, settling in the U.S., and his life thereafter making an engineering career in a great U.S. electro-acoustic company. It also provides an account of his family health problems, believed to have stemmed from radiation exposure from the 1984 Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the tragedy of his youngest son's death, to whom this book is dedicated. There is a lot of insight into modern life in the USA, school system, medical establishments, Jewish religious culture, the epidemic of drug abuse, middle-class professional life, and family relations.
