New York, New York, U.S.A.: Basic Books. Fair in Fair dust jacket. 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. 0465042147 . "A riveting account of the appalling events that accompanied the end of World War II. Tells the story of what drove people who had been through unimaginable suffering to turn around and inflict the same on others. Nothing has ever been written about this. To unearth the story, the author spent seven years doing research and conducting interviews in Poland, Germany, Israel, and the United States. Sixty-five pages of footnotes and sources testify to the accuracy of the reporting." - dust jacket. "The topic of Jewish participation in these acts of oppression is controversial, but, in my view, only two questions need to be raised. The first concerns the motivation of the author and here I am convinced that Mr. Sack has tried, as he himself writes, to tell 'something more than the story of Jewish revenge: the story of Jewish redemption.' The second is whether the story is true and what it is based on. Here, too, I am satisfied that the author is a serious researcher... The book is in fact a major contribution to our understanding... I certainly recommend this publication." - Antony Polonsky, Brandeis University. xii, [2], 252 pp. Index. Somewhat above-average overall wear. Gift greetings inside front board.
