Author Description

The winds of war blew 20,000 frantic European Jews to the Far East--to the wickedest city on earth--Shanghai, "the Paris of the Orient." DELIVERANCE IN SHANGHAI is the story of those men, women and children who traded German subjugation for Japanese. Though fictional, DELIVERANCE IN SHANGHAI is based on exclusive interviews with survivors of the Shanghai ghetto, on the translation of many unpublished documents, and on the journals of Americans stationed in Shanghai during and immediately after the war. "Brightly written, tightly plotted, heartrending and totally absorbing, this book presents a new and true corner of WWII. I found it astonishing." --Isaac Asimov
