It was an underground railroad. It foiled the Nazis; it foiled the British; it survived against the elements; and it beat the skepticism of its own people. It saved 40,000 Jews from mass extermination. Here, for the first time, the complete story of the greatest rescue operation of the century is told. It is an immense and detailed epic~a narrative that ranges from horrible tragedy to the pinnacle of joy. No reader who enters these pages with the knowledge of what happened to the Jewish people in the darkest years of man's history will escape untouched or unchanged. Here is the experience: the suspense, the tears, the triumph of the few who struggled to escape wholesale slaughter ~in the bywords of The Action~AF AL PI (" In Spite of Everything"). William Perl is more than a historian, more than a simple eyewitness. He stands among a few key figures before the war who organized and directed The Action~who played a vital role in its highest levels of operation. Using the texts of secret official memoranda, most never before published, his personal diary of the period, as well as notes and dozens of taped interviews, he presents an astounding chronicle of this unknown aspect of the war. Here is Perl's irrefutable case against the British government, next to the Nazis themselves probably the most deadly foes of the persecuted Jews. Here is an account of the role several eminently famous people in Israeli history played in the furtherance of British Mideast policy. These, among other revealing facts, constitute nothing less than a bombshell. THE FOUR~FRONT WAR is a historical analysis of the first rank, which will alter permanently our understanding of the Holocaust. WILLIAM R. PERL lived most of his pre~Hitler years in Vienna. After Hitler's ascent to power, Perl organized the dramatic escape to Palestine of thousands of Jews, an action about which Prime Minister Menachem Begin has said, "Your deeds . will be remembered forever by the Jewish people, indeed, by all men of good will." At the end of World War II, Perl became Special Assistantto the Prosecution atthe War Crimes Trials in Dachau.…
