Agreed. He was a leftie, but...someone goes though what he did, well...he gets to choose.
His writing of that book was his unforgettable contribution.
As a European his political leanings were very much in our direction.
As a human being, Simply his anecdotes can launch a thousand ships. I wish I heard more from him today, and as he got older. Opinions and philosophies from people like him are needed more now than ever, and their age is making them fewer than ever.
Irony never ceases to amaze me. Put into a concentration camp by the Left the man one day becomes a Leftist.
