Inhaltsangabe

This book is the dramatic and largely unknown story of the rescue of more than two million Jews from Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East since the Second World War. It reveals a vast covert intelligence-and-rescue network which led, argues Tad Szulc, to the birth of the state of Israel. Once a separate Jewish homeland was established (1948) the challenge shifted from illegal immigration to emigration - freeing Jews from all countries.

Reseña del editor

The true story of how nearly three million Jews have been rescued from all over the world by undercover operations since World War II. The Hebrew Immigration Service repeatedly succeeded in penetrating Eastern European and Arab governments to arrange for the legal - and often illegal - departure of Jews through bribery, co-option and any other conceivable means. Recently, and for the first time, the Hebrew Immigration Service has opened these unseen files and records and made all surviving operatives available to the author of "Secret Alliance", "The Winds of Revolution", "The Illusion of Peace" and "Fidel: A Critical Portait".
