"A brilliant and heart-wrenching book, with universal and timely lessons about the power of information - and misinformation. Is it possible to stop mass murder by telling the truth?" Yuval Noah Harari
“This is a book that's worthy of its hero, and I can't praise it too highly. What an achievement.” Philip Pullman
THE ESCAPE ARTIST has published today by John Murray and has gone straight to #1 on Amazon. It’s now been sold to Het Spectrum in the Netherlands, Like in Finland, Bertrand in Portugal, Bouquins (part of Laffont) in France, Atheneum in Hungary, NHK in Japan and Polirom in Romania.
The reviews have been amazing so far including the following from The Daily Mail and Sunday Times:
‘Freedland wants Rudolf Vrba to be thought of in the same way as Anne Frank, Primo Levi or Oskar Schindler. This meticulously researched book, shocking but thrilling, and ultimately overwhelmingly inspiring, deserves to achieve that aim. Lest we forget.’ The Daily Mail
‘Rosenberg [Vrba] deserved better. He survived horrors that most of us can barely imagine and never wavered in his commitment to the truth. His life makes for an enormously moving story. Now, thanks to Freedland’s impeccable research and immersive storytelling, he has the biography that he deserves.’ The Sunday Times
It has also been serialized in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/global/2022/jun/04/escape-from-auschwitz-most-extraordinary-holocaust-story-youve-never-heard
