An honorary citizen of the United States and Canada, and designated as one of the Righteous Among the Nations by Israel, Raoul Wallenberg was a modest envoy to Hungary whose heroism in Budapest at the height of the Holocaust saved countless Jewish lives, and ultimately cost him his own. A series of unlikely coincidences led to the appointment of Wallenberg, by trade a poultry importer, as Sweden's Special Envoy to Budapest in 1944. With remarkable bravery, Wallenberg created a system of protective passports, and sheltered thousands of desperate Jews in buildings he claimed were Swedish libraries and research institutes. As the war drew to a close, his invaluable work almost complete, Wallenberg voluntarily went to meet with the Soviet troops who were relieving the city. Arrested as a spy, Wallenberg disappeared into the depths of the Soviet system, never to be seen again. In this definitive biography, noted journalist Ingrid Carlberg has carried out unprecedented research into all elements of Wallenberg's life, narrating with vigor and insight the story of a heroic life, and navigating with wisdom and sensitivity the truth about his disappearance and death.

diplomatic correspondence, this study provides a richer and more nuanced picture of this fascinating burgenerally misunderstood figure. Though not a biography, Wallenberg's up-bringing is explored, with the motives and goals for his mission analysed. This study replaces the one-dimensional caricature which has long dominated the public's view of Wallenberg with a more complicated individual who made history during the Holocaust." "Levine also explores how the many myths about Wallenberg and his mission have played a significant role in distorting both the public's understanding of him, and of how he actually worked to assist and save thousands of Jews. Rather than being an 'angel of rescue', as he is some times referred to, Wallenberg was a very real man whose status as a Swedish diplomat was more crucial to his ability to act than his own motivations. Often referred to as an archetypical 'altruisric personality', this study demonstrates that Wallenberg was hardly a --

"In September 1991 a Swedish-Russian Working Group was appointed in order to try to establish joint efforts what actually happened after the disappearance of the Swedish diplomat in January 1945. In connection with the collapse of the Soviet Union many doors were opened, and previously inconceivable investigations became possible. With the aim of 'leaving no stone unturned' the Working Group was given access to the former Soviet archive systems and had the opportunity to talk to former members of the Soviet security organs. The working group presented its findings at a press conference in Stockholm on 12 January, 2001"--From the web site.
