"Anna Porter will always be a force whenever language takes centre stage. In her latest book, Buying a Better World, she spins a mesmerizing narrative of one of the most intriguing human beings of his time, billionaire philanthropist George Soros."
"Anna Porter's Kasztner's Train takes us to the magnificently researched and reconstructed world of Hungary during the twin fascist terrors of the Arrow Cross and the SS - to a world in which everything is in flux except the determination of Kasztner. It will become a classic of the times it deals with."
Porter explains the lens through which Soros looks at both economics and politics?the idea that there?s a two-way relationship between cause and effect.
"[The Ghosts of Europe] offers a succinct, highly readable, contemporary history, interspersed with interviews with influential national figures regarding past, present and future."
Based on interviews with Soros and his friends, colleagues, and business partners, Porter writes an extraordinary biography of the billionaire, focusing on his legacy.
"[Buying a Better World is] a compelling portrait of a larger-than-life man who, even as he mirrors his times, stands apart and tries to reshape the world."
