Critics Review
It is greatly to the credit of Alan Levy that he has dared to give us an objective account of Wiesethal’s career.– Sunday Times
Wiesenthal is a unique survivor… his one purpose is that justice for the dead of Europe, those wilfully killed by his fellow Austrian, Hitler’s decree, be not forgotten. To understand him read Levy’s book. - Sunday Telegraph

He deserves this readable and intelligent book. - The TimesLevy is ruthless in his determination to make every act of barbarity clear. It is impossible to turn the pages without feeling not just despair but revulsion. - New Statesman & SocietyAbout The Author
