“Bruce F. Pauley writes with an accomplished historian’s eye for context and intergenerational change and has skillfully interwoven different narratives in his autobiography. This is great reading for people interested in immigrant heritage, coming of age in the Midwest in the 1950s, the transformative power of international education, Austria, or history as a profession.”—Lonnie R. Johnson, executive director of the Austrian-American Fulbright Commission in Vienna
