Title: Outstanding Memoir
Product review: Having now read 142 memoirs as part of the research for my book-in-progress - Stealth Altruism: Jews Helping Jews in Nazi Hells - I have some familiarity with the genre. All But My LIfe is one of the best written, most informative, and frankest of them all, a must-read volume for those of us "outsiders" who would attempt to get as "inside" as possible. The narrative is seamless, and engaging. Recall is selective, cogent, and yet also revealing. Irony, wit, and judgments add much of value. All in all, this memoir would seem to warrant all the acclaim it has earned to date - and more.
