Still Counting: Achievements and Follies of a Nonagenarian

By Edward B. Marks

This memoir sums up the life of Edward B. Marks, who spent nearly fifty years working for voluntary organizations (NGOs), U.S. government, and the United Nations, concerning the relief, resettlement, and rehabilitation of refugees on four continents. Among those aided were refugees from Hitler's Germany, Japanese-Americans evacuated from 3 west coast states, post World War II escapees from Communism, refugees in and from Vietnam, Cuba, and Haiti, and the victims of civil strife in Nigeria-Biafra. This memoir also contains several lighthearted pieces, written by Marks, published in The New Yorker, Playboy, and other periodicals.
