Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Kershaw dramatically pulls the reader into the diabolical campaign of Adolf Eichmann…With the nail-biting suspense of a winning novelist, Kershaw uses solid research and anecdotal data to show how it felt to be just one step ahead of the SS…Alex Kershaw has delivered a masterpiece about Raul Wallenberg, as witnessed from every perspective.” —New York Journal of Books
“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
“An interesting conjunction of two World War II figures, one heroic and one evil, this will most interest general readers just starting to study the Holocaust, although some of Kershaw's details will also interest specialists.” —Library Journal
“The entwined tales of Raoul Wallenberg and Adolf Eichmann, revisited with new research and this bestselling writer’s narrative flair.” —WWII
“Much like an adventure story, at times impossible to put down…The Envoy is well-written, thoroughly researched, and an engaging book to read.” —Jewish Book World
“The life of a courageous, righteous man well told.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A harrowing book.” —Providence Journal
“Guidall’s understated tact conveys a story of tragic nobility in the midst of soul-destroying brutality.” —AudioFile
