This book was in my top 3 of 2011. I could not put it down once i started reading it. Alex Kershaw is my new favorite author. He makes you feel you are there in the story. This book was about Raoul Wallenberg's rescue of many thousands of Jews during the war and what happened to him afterwards. His story is one that needs to be told. It should be required reading in every school.
