He interacted with anyone and everyone who came his way throughout his journey: from the terrifying ghosts long dead to the highly esteemed lords and baronesses very much alive, most of whom happened to be anti-Semites. But that's not all. While wandering around, Tuvia caught a nap in Winston Churchill's room, curled up in Hillary Clinton's European bed, played cat-and-mouse with the most famous Labour politician, Jeremy Corbyn, and enjoyed excellent tobacco with the Brexit architect, Nigel Farage. In between, he drank the blackest of coffees with a well-known bank robber, maintained close contact with an eagle, swallowed a monster, and chatted with Jewish leaders who fervently defended every anti-Semite in Her Majesty's Kingdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat differentiates this book from other books is this: This book is very funny.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYaron London, Channel 11 TV (Israel)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmazingly frank, amusing, fearless and chuzpadik wonderfully readable.
