Book Description
In the last days of WWII, Count Folke Bernadotte of neutral Sweden organized buses to enter Nazi Germany, and where he helped save thousands of lives. Then the just-formed United Nations asked him in 1948 to mediate the Jewish-Palestinian dispute; he was assassinated in Jerusalem by the Stern Gang.
