Persson's engaging narrative recounts the daring rescue of some 17,000 concentration camp prisoners from the heart of Germany towards the end of the Second World War. The Red Cross expedition, sponsored by the Swedish government and captained by Count Folke Bernadotte, was made possible by secret negotiations between Bernadotte and SS chief Heinrich Himmler and was known for its now iconic white buses, which carried the prisoners to the safety of Sweden between March and May of 1945. The edition is peppered with firsthand accounts and previously unpublished photographs and contains new material from the Kew's National Archives, as well as a new introduction by Brian Urquhart. This text is sure to be of interest to history and WWII buffs. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
