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."" --$$cProvided by publisher 001373738 60010 $$aSugihara, Chiune,$$d1900-1986. 001373738 60010 $$aSugihara, Chiune,$$d1900-1986$$xTravel$$zEurope, Eastern. 001373738 60014 $$aSugihara, Chiune,$$d1900-1986 001373738 60017 $$aSugihara, Chiune,$$d1900-1986.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00283638 001373738 60017 $$aSugihara, sense(1900-1986)$$2ndlsh 001373738 648_7 $$a1900-1999$$2fast 001373738 650_0 $$aRighteous Gentiles in the Holocaust$$vBiography. 001373738 650_0 $$aDiplomats$$zJapan$$xHistory$$y20th century. 001373738 651_0 $$aJapan$$xForeign relations$$y1912-1945. 001373738 7001_ $$aSekimori, Gaynor,$$etranslator. 001373738 830_0 $$aJapan library (Shuppan Bunka Sangyō Shinkō Zaidan) 001373738 852__ $$bgen$$hD804.66.S84$$iS5513 2021 001373738 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1373738$$pGLOBAL_SET 001373738 980__ $$aBOOK 001373738 980__ $$aBIB
