Fourth and final volume in the memoir of Claude F. Baxter, who in earlier volumes recounts his emigration from Nazi Germany as a boy, his return as a US Army soldier, and his eventual settlement in California where he starts a family and builds a career as a neuroscientist in the Veteran's Administration. The fourth volume recounts his struggles as a scientist in a changed V.A., growing renown among his peers, and snippets of family life, travel, and hobbies.
