The true story of Holocaust hero Raoul Wallenberg and the author's efforts to rescue him from Soviet Union imprisonment.
from Bill Clinton, President of the United States
In this fascinating book Morris records the details of his twenty-seven year search for Wallenberg, beginning with a Saturday of law research in the Penn law library in March of 1983, and extending to his persuasive arguments in the District of Columbia federal court room in 1984. As he explains in his book, Morris obtained the unanimous support of the United States Congress for his law suit in 1985. He also mentions my enjoyable discussion with him at the White House on November 22, 1993. He takes us into worlds of research and discovery of awesome value. His well documented book includes details of his amazing effort to enlist and persuade the Israeli Mossad to slip into Russia in an attempt to rescue Wallenberg.
Morris Wolff is an awesome man. He has no quit in his system. You will read about his victorious day in court before Judge Parker, and the historic $39 million dollar award given the family as damages for the injustice suffered.
But most of all you will read a good book, and witness how much one man can do to achieve Justice.
It is widely known that the Swedish diplomat, Raoul Wallenberg, worked in Budapest, Hungary, during WWII to save the lives of over 100,000 Jews from Nazi extermination. But what happened after the hero disappeared in 1946? This never-before told story reveals Wallenberg's detention by the Russians and relates the legal and diplomatic efforts of the author, Morris Wolff, and others to gain (or impede) his release from the Soviet Union. Playing a role in the saga are such participants as Chief Justice John Roberts, President Richard Nixon, President Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger and Leonid Brezhnev. Attorney Wolff's efforts to gain justice for the kidnapped Swedish hero, which began in 1983, continue to this day.
