Reviews

"[The Righteous] deserves to be read side by side with the studies claiming that there were no rays of light, no manifestations of humanity and goodness in those dark days." --The New York Times "A timely [book] for a new century . . . The questions raised in this book lie at the heart of our humanity." --The Guardian "This is a book that should, that must, be read." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
