The American Way: A True Story of Nazi Escape, Superman, and Marilyn Monroe

The publisher of DC Comics comes to the rescue of a family trying to flee Nazi Berlin, their lives linking up with a dazzling cast of 20th-century icons, all eagerly pursuing the American Dream. In an editorial review in the NY Times, Kurt Andersen wrote: “The American Way reads like a Michael Chabon novel inspired by a Billy Wilder or Ernst Lubitsch movie, only all the more remarkable because every bit—the plot twists and coincidences, the thrills and chills—is true.”
