“In this fascinating and compellingly readable narrative, Judith Friedlander tells the multilayered story of an institution founded in moral passion and dedicated to the nurture of intellectual life in its most humane and democratic forms. Full of vivid personalities and international drama, A Light in Dark Times is an engrossing history of an exceptional university, an inspiring account of free thought rescued from the twentieth century’s most repressive regimes—and a book that speaks eloquently to our own turbulent times.”
— Eva Hoffman, author of Exit Into History: A Journey Through the New Eastern Europe and Appassionata
