Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 2003. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxii, [2], 311, [1} pages. Includes Preface, Afterword, Illustrations, Notes, Bibliography, Glossary, Acknowledgments, and Index. Chapters cover Nichts Juden. Juden Kapputt; The Hospital and the Berlin Jews; The Beginning of the End, 1938-41; The Nazis' Intermarriage Quandary; The Deportations; The Assault on the Gemeinde and the Hospital, 1942,43; Making a Life for Oneself in the Hospital; The Factory Raid and the Frauenprotest; The Continued Assault on the Hospital; Prisoners and survivors; The Work of the Reichsvereinigung and the Hospital, 1942-45; The Twilight of the Nazis; and The Trial of Dr. Dr. Lustig and Other Questions. The author, a lawyer and former General Counsel at the CIA, provides a close-up look at the little-known story of Berlin's Jewish Hospital, the only Jewish institution in Germany to survive the Holocaust, drawing on the accounts of survivors to describe daily life in the hospital under the Nazis, the machinations of hospital director Dr. Lustig, the medical staff and patients, and the hospital's liberation by Soviet troops in 1945. When Nazism was finally destroyed and Berlin liberated in April 1945, the only surviving Jewish institution was a smallish hospital which also served as a prison and housed a Gestapo branch office. In an amazing feat of research, Daniel Silver has reconstructed this story of heroism and cowardice, of loyalty and betrayal, and retraced the fate of the individual survivors. More

DJ has slight wear and soiling. Pencil erasure residue on fep. Bradley F Smith was a ground-breaking historian of the Second World War and intelligence. He was born in 1931. He joined the air force. After four years' service he went to Berkeley to study history and then on a Fulbright scholarship to Munich, where he honed his skills in German documentary sources. In the 1970s he began to write the books which would make his name as a scholar. The journal Foreign Affairs welcomed Reaching Judgment at Nuremberg (1977) as "a superbly written and novelesque account, which is also a sound work of historical scholarship". The Shadow Warriors: OSS and the Origins of the CIA (1983) was, like all his books, meticulously researched, and it remains the best general account of the Office of Strategic Services, the US's Second World War intelligence agency.

Alan Wykes was an author and journalist , Alan Wykes was a prolific storyteller with a prodigious memory for historical detail. Down the years much of his work was in collaboration with others, a few of them better known as biographers than he was himself. In Noel Barber's final work Daughter of the Prince, published two years ago, it was Wykes who managed to finish the last two- thirds of the book on his own when Barber fell tragically ill and died suddenly. Wykes had a sharp eye while 'looking at the field' and managed to hit upon titles with such lethal subjects as The Doctor and His Enemy (1964; about syphilis) and Lucrezia Borgia (1970), Hitler (1970), Goebbels (1971), Himmler (1972) and Heydrich (1972).
