      abstract = {"Sugihara Chiune was a diplomat who saved more than  several thousand lives from the Nazis and U.S.S.R. during  the second World War by issuing them with Japanese transit  visas. Why was he able to continue handing out these "visas  for life"? The man behind these actions was in fact an  intelligence professional of rare caliber who, aware of the  crisis confronting his nation early on, maintained a  precarious balancing act as he traveled around war-torn  Europe closely analyzing the global situation. The author,  who has spent more than thirty years studying Sugihara,  describes here for the first time the real person behind  the diplomat and the truth behind the miraculous issue of  those visas, based on his close study of documents in the  voluminous archive of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign  Affairs and of other historical sources. This nonfiction  work is the tour de force of the Foreign Ministry's  preeminent "treasure hunter."" --},
