Book excerpt: A fascinating true story of one man's effort to save Swedish diplomat -War Hero Raoul Wallenberg from the dungeons of the gulag where he was thrown after the KGB kidnapped him from Hungary on Jan 17, 1945. Author Morris Wolff sued the Soviets for Wallenberg's release and won a 39 million dollar verdict. Then Wolff went to Israel to enlist the Mossad in a rescue effort and in 1998 enlisted former US Ambassador to Moscow David M Evans. Evans, in the final pages of the book, goes to Kazan and amazingly finds Wallenberg alive in a hospital overlooking the Volga River. Read the details of this great rescue effort and the road blocks placed in Wolff's path by the governments of Sweden, Russia and the USA. Wolff wins the US Symphony Peace Award for his efforts at Carnegie Hall in New York in September of 1993 and then doubles his effort to rescue Wallenberg----a bloodhound selfless effort of 27 years with only certain members of the Wallenberg familiy helping him---while the majority of the family fight vociferously against Wolff's innocent and dedicated effort. The rich bankers in the family fight lawyer Wolff at every step of the way. They have much to hide as collaborators. They do not want Raoul free. This mystery-detective story---all true--will educate, inform and thrill you!
