Description

Raoul Wallenberg's heroic life and mysterious disappearance are revealed in this definitive biography. A series of unlikely events led to his appointment as Sweden's Special Envoy to Budapest in 1944, where he created a system of protective passports and sheltered thousands of desperate Jews. With remarkable bravery, Wallenberg navigated the treacherous landscape of war-torn Hungary, but his work was cut short when he was arrested by Soviet troops. His disappearance into the depths of the Soviet system remains one of history's greatest mysteries. This book offers a detailed and nuanced account of Wallenberg's life and disappearance, drawing on unprecedented research to separate fact from fiction.
