"Over the course of his life and travels, the book's unlikely hero has (fairly close) encounters with Harry Truman, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung and his wife, Kim Il Sung and his son, as well as Einstein's dumb brother; in addition to being present at the creation of the atomic bomb (and inadvertently providing the formula for its creation)."
