Leon Botstein Bob Bernstein has engaged life; evil does not awe or paralyze him; civic life is enhanced by his presence in it." Toni Morrison Bob Bernstein like Mandela, Dr. King, Aung Sun Suu Kyi is unique. He is a happy warrior, a visionary leader, and a political genius. There is no one else like him.” Harold Koh, former Assistant Secretary for Human Rights, U.S. State Department Robert Bernstein’s long publishing career, particularly his quarter century as chief executive of Random House, was especially distinctive. From the incomparable output of Doctor Seuss to countless literary and non-fiction authors of stature and impact, Bob provided the resources and support to enable their work. He personally sought out books of political dissent from around the globe and sponsored their publication with exceptional passion. Bob’s commitment to human rights made a historic contribution to the movement and shaped his unique legacy.” Peter Osnos
