      abstract = {Journalist Marton brings to life an unknown chapter of  World War II: the tale of nine men who grew up in  Budapest's brief Golden Age, then, driven from Hungary by  anti-Semitism, fled to the West, especially to the United  States, and changed the world. These nine men, each  celebrated for individual achievements, were actually part  of a unique group who grew up in a time and place that will  never come again, shaped by Budapest's lively café life  before the darkness closed in. She follows the lives of  four history-changing scientists who helped usher in the  nuclear age and the computer (Edward Teller, John von  Neumann, Leo Szilard, and Eugene Wigner); two major  filmmakers (Michael Curtiz, who directed Casablanca, and  Alexander Korda, who produced The Third Man); two immortal  photographers (Robert Capa and Andre Kertesz); and one  seminal writer (Arthur Koestler, Darkness at Noon).--From  publisher description.},
