* Due to its historical merit, this book is mentioned on the site of the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation.* From the British led anti-Nazi resistance in Hungary to the Soviet prisons of Lubyanka, Lefortovo, and Vladimir, then to Whitehall and North America - this book is based on a true story, now told for the first time. What did a group led by British intelligence, a church in a cave, and a missing Swedish diplomat all have in common in World War II Hungary -- and why did most of the players in this drama disappear? Shocking facts are uncovered about war-torn Budapest, British intelligence, and SMERSH -- and how they were all connected. A 60 year old deception is exposed *The scanned prison record at the beginning of the book, which proves that Karoly Schandl was imprisoned by the Soviet Union from Dec 1944 until 1956, is authentic, as are the revealing pages from Karoly's and Terezia's memoirs.* This book is on Amazon worldwide, Forbes Book Club, Ecampus, and is listed on Ingram.
Although Sean once worked for the United Kingdom’s secret intelligence service, MI6, he now finds himself on death row, sentenced for what the judge at his trial described as ‘the most heinous of crimes.’ Abandoned by his colleagues, friends, and even his family, he reflects on the events of his life which took him from humble beginnings to a career that brought him into conflict with powerful people at the heart of government. Unexplained happenings, mysterious deaths, and individuals hellbent on thwarting at every turn his aim of keeping the democratic process alive made it difficult for him to trust anyone, even the girl he loved. His mission to rid the world of a new and dangerous drug takes him to distant lands where he encounters the better sides of human nature, kindness and generosity.
