Libro Prima edizione
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.
