Why people recommend it

Exiles is a deeply moving family history and memoir by Michael J. Arlen that chronicles his family's dramatic escape from Europe and subsequent life in displacement. Tyler Cowen discussed the book on Conversations with Tyler, though during the interview he referred to it under its alternate title, Ausländer: One Family's Story of Escape and Exile, while speaking with his guest Michael Moritz. Cowen expressed immense enthusiasm for the work throughout the discussion, explicitly telling the audience that it was an excellent book that he absolutely recommended to everyone listening. Toward the conclusion of the interview, Cowen brought up the memoir once more specifically to promote it again, noting for the record how much he personally enjoyed reading the compelling account of origin stories, exile, and survival. By weaving these repeated endorsements into the conversation, the host ensured that listeners took note of the powerful narrative of historical trauma and resilience captured within the pages of the book.
