The Idealistic Adventurer

The Idealistic Adventurer

ByGeorge Sossenko

The Sossenko family flees the Russian revolution in 1917, first to Berlin then to Left Bank Paris. Growing up among White Russians and left intellectuals, George Sossenko, at 16, joins the good fight in Spain as a member of the French Brigade, against Fascist Franco. Rescuing young George from near-certain death in the fascist victory, the family flees once again, this time from the Nazi monster, to Argentina. Soon George is back in uniform fighting with the Free French and English in North Africa then the U.S. Fifth Army in Italy and France, surviving but leaving many a friend on the battlefield. His return to Argentina and eventual engagement in the business world follows the war. His adventures in this arena are often as hair-raising as the war years.
