Wallenberg: Missing Hero by Kati Marton, Ballentine Books, 1982
A fearless young Swede whose efforts saved countless Hungarian Jews from certain death at the hands of Adolf Eichmann, Raoul Wallenberg was one of the true heroes to emerge during the Nazi occupation of Europe. He left a life of privilege and, against staggering odds, brought hope to those who had been abandoned by the rest of the world.
For students of history of the holocaust, or for anyone who wants to read a story of true heroism in the face of evil, here is the gripping, passionately written biography of the courageous man who displayed extraordinary humanity during one of history’s darkest periods.
Hungarian-American author and journalist, Kati Marton's career has included reporting for ABC News as a foreign correspondent and National Public Radio, where she started as a production assistant in 1971, as well as print journalism and writing a number of books. She is a former chairwoman of the International Women's Health Coalition, and a director (former chairwoman) of the Committee to Protect Journalists and other bodies including the International Rescue Committee, Human Rights Watch, and the New America Foundation.
