In his upcoming book, BENKO'S LIFE, GAMES, AND COMPOSITIONS (by Benko and Silman, with a large opening survey by John Watson), he shares tales of his youth in war torn Hungary, he tells of his imprisonment, torture, and eventual escape to the United States, he gives insight into his close friend Fischer and other chess personalities, and he shares over 100 deeply annotated games against many of the greatest players of all time.
