The Envoy

In December 1944, amidst the chaos of World War II, Budapest becomes a battleground as Soviet and German forces clash while Hungarian fascists and Nazis carry out horrific acts against the Jewish population. At the center of this harrowing narrative is Raoul Wallenberg, an unarmed Swedish diplomat, who risks everything to save over 100,000 Jews from the impending horrors of the gas chambers. Alex Kershaw's The Envoy captures Wallenberg's heroic efforts in a thrilling, fast-paced account of one man's profound impact against overwhelming evil, shedding light on a pivotal yet dark moment in history.
