Secret Alliance by Tad Szulc RESCUE OF JEWS SINCE WWII by Tad Szulc

Description: Secret Alliance by Tad Szulc ENGLISH VG CONDITION, HARDCOVER A very informative account of how secret intelligence networks and the Mossad set in motion operations to rescue more than 2 million Jews from Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East after WWII. The narrative becomes tedious at some points because of the may protagonists and their stories getting mixed up and not dealing in full with any particular one. However, there are now and then some pearls of information, little details of a few lines that are worth the whole book. But these stories of true and anonymous heroism deserve a full book by themselves. Numbers, data, don't reach the heart. it's not the same to say "2 thousand people died yesterday" than to say "Jim Jones died yesterday". It really makes you feel frustrated to get only a glimpse at the lives of these great men and women who dedicated themselves to saving others. Or not to know more about things for example: the Costa Rican consul in France who in 1947 traded with the lives of thousands of Jews (Displaced Persons) selling visa stamps at five dollars each, getting rich on account of the Holocaust. The story is just dropped as passing by. Personally, I would have appreciated more focus too on developments in countries like Spain or Morocco, how they dealt with the situations of thousands of Displaced Persons (Jews): Morocco didn't even consider them Moroccans, but as the King's "children" he wouldn't let them out. Franco's Spain, on the other hand, has a much more positive role here, but only hinted at in a few lines. There's material for many books here, books that should capture the attention of the general public, and not meant to take a space in a shelf like this one may have ended.
