Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 George Soros was born in Hungary in 1930. His family changed their name to Soros to avoid antisemitism. In the 1940s, they hid out under a false Christian identity.

#2 When World War I ended, Hungary was on the losing side. In 1918, a revolution led by Count Mihály Károlyi brought about the First Hungarian Republic. The republic was short-lived. Károlyi struggled with land reform and a rising and discontented political left.

#3 The Hungarian Soviet Republic was followed by the Treaty of Trianon, which formally ended the First World War between the Allies and Hungary. Romania, Czechoslovakia, and the new kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes carved up the independent Kingdom of Hungary that resulted from the treaty.

#4 In 1934, the family name of Tivadar Soros changed to Schwartz, as Jewish people in Hungary were not allowed to use their names. In 1936, the Nazis engineered the murder of the chancellor of Austria, Engelbert Dollfuss, and in 1936, the swastika flew over the Olympics in Berlin.
