Publisher's Synopsis
The books in this series explore the events and personal experiences that led some of history's most fascinating people to engage in heroic or villainous behaviour. The results and consequences of their actions are also detailed. Each volume strives to present these individuals realistically by revealing a hero's flaws and a villain's endearing characteristics.;One of the most complex individuals to emerge from World War II was Oskar Schindler, a member of the Nazi Party who, instead of persecuting Jews, ended up saving more than 12,000 lives. This book examines Schindler's motives, his extraordinary efforts on behalf of his Jewish workers and the legacy that resulted.
