"A remarkable story by a remarkable writer. This is one of the great books about a period of time that never goes out of our consciousness. A terrific read. I love this book."
-- Larry King
"The Avengers tells a story that's never been told before, and tells it with a hallucinatory clarity. Rich Cohen has refuted forever Hannah Arendt's thesis that the Jews of Europe went quietly to their deaths. This is one of the most stirring books I have ever read."
-- James Atlas
"In period-perfect detail, Cohen portrays...the riveting story of the Avengers' escape from the ghetto, their acceptance of a renegade German officer who hated his army and their eventual emigration to Palestine. Cohen delivers a compelling story that not only amplifies the accepted version of Jewish experience in the Second World War, but also provides a terrific narrative of courage and tenacity."
-- Publishers Weekly
