Book Cover Image      The heroic Swedish diplomat, Raoul Wallenberg worked in Budapest, Hungary, during WWII to save the lives of over 100,000 Jews from Nazi extermination. But what happened after the hero disappeared on January 17, 1945, kidnapped from his diplomatic post by the Russians. This never-before told story reveals Wallenberg’s detention by the Russians and relates the legal and diplomatic efforts of the author, Morris Wolff, and others to gain his release from the Soviet Union. Playing a role in the saga are such participants as Chief Justice John Roberts, Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, freedom fighters Anatole Sharansky, Bruce Teicholz and Judith Jaron, and Russian Premiers Boris Yeltsin and Leonid Brezhnev. Attorney Wolff’s efforts to gain justice for the kidnapped Swedish hero, which began in 1983, continue to this day.
