"Rescued from the Reich is a first-rate piece of detective work. Bryan Rigg recounts in vivid detail the morál complexity of Rebbe Schneersohn's rescue from the Nazis. An excellent book." Alexander B. Rossino, a krieg. Ideology, and Atrocity "Bryan Rigg's meticulously researched account of the wartime rescue of a Hasidic rabbi by Germán officers, working secretly with U.S. intelligence, is a revealing look at the intricacies of diplomatic maneuverings and the complex, sometimes contradictory motivations of humán actors. He treats American Jewry's failure to save more of their European brethren with the same care he uses to outline the cracks in the IMazi military machine that permitted men of conscience to act righteously, albeit at great personal risk."

Fishkoff, author of The Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch "In Rescued from the Reich, Bryan Rigg explains the miraculous rescue of one of the world's most dynamic and influential rabbis. Combining historical analysis and investigative journalism, Rigg explores the mechanics of the Germán, Russian, and American political intrigue during World War II. The extent of diplomacy, political machinations, and cooperation between warring nations during one of the most calamitous periods of history-in order to save the life of a rabbi-is astounding." Dr. M. Avrum Ehrlich, Clare Hall, Cambridge University "The pious will surely see in the Lubavitcher Rebbe's rescue the hand of God, and view the Germán emissaries who rescued him, led by a man of mixed Jewish ancestry, as angels masquerading as devils. But histórián Bryan Rigg has a very different story to teli-part detective story, part mystery. It is a story of diplomacy and intelligence work, suspicions and mortal danger, soldiers and civilians mobilized to rescue one prominent Jew and his family from the heart of German-occupied Warsaw in the midst of the Holocaust."
