Review
A masterful study of how the Russian Revolution, the rise of European fascism and the second world war all transformed the American performing arts--The Economist
"A rich assembly, an unmasked ball teeming with famous names. . . . Horowitz can make judgements boldly, out of deep knowledge. . . . The way Horowtiz raves learnedly...should send any reader diving into Amazon."--Times Literary Supplement (London)
"Heroically researched . . . chock-full of fascinating vignettes, stunning quotations, and shrewd insights on the fly."--New York Times

A rich assembly, an unmasked ball teeming with famous names. . . . Horowitz can make judgements boldly, out of deep knowledge. . . . The way Horowtiz raves learnedly...should send any reader diving into Amazon. --Times Literary Supplement (London)"
A persuasive examination of the most compelling of twentieth century cultural phenomena, how refugees from all across Europe, running the gamut from George Balanchine to Billy Wilder, revolutionized American artistic life. Erudite, incisive, inconoclastic, as readable as it is comprehensive, this is just the kind of treatment the participants themselves would have relished.--Kenneth Turan, film critic, Los Angeles Times
