Biographical history
Michael M. Solomon was born in Galați, Romania in 1901. He studied law at the University of Montpellier (France) and joined the Bucharest Bar in 1934. He was sent to London as a foreign correspondent for a newspaper in 1938, and in 1947 was repatriated to Romania where he continued to work as a foreign correspondent for British newspapers. While working, Solomon was taken in by Russian agents and sentenced to death for espionage, then committed to 25 years hard labor in Siberia. Upon his release in 1964, he relocated to Canada as a landed immigrant and became the Montreal correspondence for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. The six volumes of work Solomon published are based primarily on his own life experiences, and have been translated to French, German, and Spanish.
