520    An Honorary Citizen of the U.S.A., and designated as one 
       of the Righteous among the Nations by Israel, Raoul 
       Wallenberg's heroism in Budapest at the height of the 
       Holocaust saved countless lives, and ultimately cost him 
       his own. A series of unlikely coincidences led to the 
       appointment of Wallenberg, by trade a poultry importer, as
       Sweden's Special Envoy to Budapest in 1944. With 
       remarkable bravery, Wallenberg created a system of 
       protective passports, and sheltered thousands of desperate
       Jews in buildings he claimed were Swedish libraries and 
       research institutes.As the war drew to a close, his 
       invaluable work almost complete, Wallenberg voluntarily 
       went to meet with the Soviet troops who were relieving the
       city. Arrested as a spy, Wallenberg disappeared into the 
       depths of the Soviet system, never to be seen again. For 
       this seminal biography, Ingrid Carlberg has carried out 
       unprecedented research into all elements of Wallenberg's 
       life, narrating with vigour and insight the story of a 
       heroic life, and navigating with wisdom and sensitivity 
       the truth about his disappearance and death
