While many people "survived" the turbulent war years of the 20th century, Guido Robert Weinreb has done more than survive - he is "living" a fortunate life.

Guido was an eyewitness to many of the events that changed today's world - Poland during the days of Nazi power in Germany; Austria during the Anschluss; Berlin during the Munich Agreement; England during the Blitz; India and Burmah during the sunset years of the British Empire; and the rebirth of Israel.

From seven countries that have been home to Guido, follow his journey in Fortunate Life as he recounts the many episodes of his family, and his global travels.

At each juncture, Guido presents the reader with his unique perspective on politics, culture, and society - supported by an adventurous life of 80-plus years.
