The Secret Alliance rescue of the Jews since World War II

London: Macmillan, 1992. First UK edition. Hardcover. Good/very good. The dramatic and largely unknown story of the rescue of more than 2-million Jews from Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East since World War II. Provides in-depth accounts of missions such as Operation Magic Carpet (Yemen), Operation Framework (Morocco), Operation Moses (Ethiopia) and the network that helped Jews - with Kurdish aid - escape from Iran after Khomeini's Islamic revolution in 1979. Here are the backroom details of the money-for-blood deals made with Adolph Eichmann, Nicolae Ceaucescu and Saddam Hussein.
