The Envoy is the stirring tale of how one man made the greatest difference in the face of untold evil. The legendary Oscar Schindler saved hundreds, but Raoul Wallenberg did what no other individual or nation managed to do: He saved more than 100,000 Jewish men, women, and children from extermination.
Written with Alex Kershaw’s customary narrative verve, The Envoy is a fast-paced, nonfiction thriller that brings to life one of the darkest and yet most inspiring chapters of twentieth century history. It is an epic for the ages.

Jewish Book World
“Much like an adventure story, at times impossible to put down....The Envoy is well-written, thoroughly researched, and an engaging book to read.”
Buffalo Jewish Review, 7/8/11“The story is set forth here with considerable authenticity in a style that grips the reader’s attention and that vividly reminds us of a hero who deserves continuing universal recognition.”
Booklist, July 2010
“From a best-selling and vibrant writer, the compelling story of how a Swedish diplomat saved 100,000 Hungarian Jews from deportation to the death camps. Many books have been called major contributions to Holocaust literature, but in this case, the claim is true.”

Descrizione libro Quarter Cloth. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First Edition, First Printing. Cambridge, MA, DaCapo, 2010. First edition, first printing. 8vo. Dark blue quarter cloth over brown boards, with gilt lettering embossed on spine, illustrated with black and white photos, 294 pp. In July 1944, 32-year-old Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg arrived in Budapest intending to rescue the last major Jewish population in Europe from extermination at the hands of Adolf Eichmann and the Nazis. Over the next six months he repeatedly risked his life to save thousands of Jews, issuing diplomatic passes and establishing numerous safe houses throughout the city in defiance of Eichmann and Hungarian fascists. When the Red Army took Budapest, Wallenberg disappeared into a Soviet gulag. Here the author of The Bedford Boys and The Longest Winter traces the fate of both Eichmann, who was finally apprehended in 1960, and Wallenberg, whose parents spent decades searching for their son. "A tense, fast-moving narrative that shows Wallenberg as a match for Eichmann in intelligence and determination as he utilized fake documents, safe houses, and a variety of other methods to save thousands of Jewish lives. This is an inspiring story that illustrates how one dedicated human can make an impact, even against a monstrous tyranny."-Booklist. New in a new dust jacket, protected by a mylar cover.
