500    "The writing style of Sitting on top of the world is narrative nonfiction. The book reads like a novel, but the underlying story is true"--Page v.
520    The author relates the story of Kurt Wagner, born Kurt Rudolf Walker, and his brother Heinz Walker, including their separate childhoods in World War II Germany, Kurt's escape to the United States, and the author's assembly of previously unknown facts relating to the Walker family's experiences both before, during and after the war.
