In this complete and masterful biography, Maurice Friedman traces the interweaving of Buber's wholehearted engagement with world events and crises and the evolution of his unique and influential philosophy. We see the impact of World War I on the young thinker; his work in educaation, community, and politics between the wars; his leadership of the spiritual resistance to the Nazis in Hitler's Germany and his more than forty yeas of fighting for Jewish-Arab understanding. In addition, we see Buber's interaction with Heidegger, Sartre, Jung, Ben Gurion, Hesse, Rosenzweig, and Hammarskjold.
