Kati Marton talked about her book The Great Escape: Nine Jews Who Fled Hitler and Changed the World, published by Simon and Schuster. The book tells the stories of nine men who left Budapest, Hungary, because of growing anti-Semitism in the years leading up to World War II. The nine men include four scientists (Edward Teller, John von Neumann, Leo Szilard, and Eugene Wigner), two movie-makers (Michael Curtiz and Alexander Korda), two photographers (Robert Capa and Andre Kertesz), and one writer (Arthur Koestler). Ms. Marton was interviewed on the BookTV Bus at the 2006 Texas Book Festival.
