New York Times" bestselling author Alex Kershaw has written the first full biography of one of the most remarkable men to have outwitted Hitler
- Raoul Wallenberg the young Swedish diplomat who almost single-handedly saved the lives of countless Hungarian Jews at unimaginable risk & great cost to himself. As a Holocaust survivor said Schindler saved hundreds. Wallenberg saved tens of thousands. This is the story of how he achieved this & of his personal duel with Adolf Eichmann the SS colonel charged with obliterating Hungarian Jewry who sent half a million Jews to their deaths in Auschwitz. This confrontation reaches its climax in 1944 when Soviet & German troops are fighting h&-to-hand through the suburbs of Budapest & Eichmanns push for the Final Solution is personally opposed by Wallenberg. This book also sheds new light on Wallenbergs fate
- he disappeared into the Soviet Union after the war to a highly controversial & disputed death. (The Americans were so determined to discover what happened to him that they made him an honorary citizen in order to prise information out of the Russians.) Its an inspiring story which moves at the pace of a master thriller-writer but the truth behind it is heartbreaking."
