Reviews:

• Handler seeks to explain how the young Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg was able to organize the protection and rescue of about one-third of Hungary's Jewish population in the last months of WW II. Wallenberg, who disappeared dear Debrecen in January 1945, remains an elusive figure due to lack of documentation about his life. Handler focuses instead on explaining the Hungarian political context that made teh rescue possible.... Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above.
