Natan Sharansky and Gil Troy Never Alone

Never Alone is a classic account of courage, integrity and belonging. In 1977, Natan Sharansky, a leading activist for the democratic dissident movement in the Soviet Union and the movement for free Jewish emigration, was arrested and spent nine years as a political prisoner, convicted of treason against the state. Natan Sharansky and historian Gil Troy show how Sharansky's years in prison prepared him t bring moral clarity and uncompromising honesty to his work as an Israeli politician and the head of the Jewish Agency. Never Alone is suffused with reflections from his time as a political prisoner, from his seat at the table as history unfolded in Israel and the Middle East, and his passionate efforts to unite the Jewish people. Written with frankness, affection, and humor, the book offers us profound insights from a man whose fight for individual freedom in the face of overt tyranny would come to define the rest of his life. 

Natan Sharansky is an Israeli politician, human rights activist and author. He served as Chairman of the Jewish Agency from June 2009 to August 2018.

Gil Troy is the award-winning author of "The Age of Clinton: America in the 1990s, a Professor of History at McGill University and a leading presidential historian.
