Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. The format is approximately 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches. xii, 564 pages. Illustrations. Index. Alan Levy (10 February 1932 - 2 April 2004) was educated at Brown and Columbia universities. In 1952 at Brown, he co-wrote an original Brownbrokers musical titled Anything Can Be Fixed with Gill Bach and Porter Woods. In addition, he worked seven years as a reporter for the Louisville Courier-Journal in Kentucky. Later on, he spent seven years in New York as journalist writing for Life magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, The New York Times and others. Among first personalities he interviewed were W. H. Auden, the Beatles, Fidel Castro, Graham Greene, Václav Havel, Sophia Loren, Vladimir Nabokov, Richard Nixon and Ezra Pound. He covered the Prague Spring and the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 and chronicled the events in Rowboat to Prague, published in the United States in 1972. In 1971 he settled in Vienna, Austria, where he wrote for the International Herald Tribune, Life, Good Housekeeping, The New York Times Magazine, Cosmopolitan and others. From 1991 on to his death in 2004, he was editor-in-chief of The Prague Post. In 1993 he published The Wiesenthal File. The book earned Levy the Author of the Year award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors. Levy also wrote a play, The World of Ruth Draper, and wrote the libretto for Just an Accident?, a symphonic requiem by Austrian composer René Staar, performed in November 1998 in Prague by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra at Dvo ák Hall in the Rudolfinum. This is the remarkable story of a man who has become a legend in his own lifetime. Simon Wiesenthal spent four and a half years in Mauthausen concentration camp during the Second World War. With the exception of his wife, all his immediate family were exterminated, and he himself ended the war a living skeleton. Since then, he has achieved international renown for his tireless tracking down of Nazi war criminalsâ"including his capture of Eichmann, the "desk murderer" who masterminded Hitler's Final Solution, and Stangl the overlord of Treblinkaâ"and for his pursuit of Mengele of Auschwitz, the dreaded "Angel of Death." To this day his work continues, his motivation simply expressed in the "Justice, not vengeance." The accounts of inspired detective work that lie behind Wiesenthal's successful apprehension of the fugitives reads as excitingly as any thriller, but Alan Levy's book is much more than that. It is an award-winning examination of the work of one of the greatest Jewish figures of the twentieth century. 8 pages of black-and-white photographs bring to life this gripping account of the lifelong pursuit of justice by the man who declared "So long as the criminals are free, the war has not ended for me." "Wiesenthal has played his part in a disturbing episode of postwar history. Derived from a Kirkus review: This biography of famed Nazi-hunter Simon Wiesenthal is so well written that it often seems like a thriller rather than a serious examination of the aftermath of the Holocaust filtered through one survivor's experience. Levy's journalistic training (he is editor of the English-language Prague Post) stands him in good stead as he brings Wiesenthal to life in the first part of the book, which outlines the former architect's path through the death camps and forced labor to his new career as a seeker of justice for the six million Jews murdered by Hitler (including nearly 90 of Wiesenthal's own relatives). Levy then traces in brief the careers of several Nazis Wiesenthal has pursued including Adolf Eichmann and Joseph Mengele. Finally, he offers a guarded evaluation of Wiesenthal's role in the controversy surrounding Kurt Waldheim. Reprint edition. Second Printing [stated].
