Didn't happen,but well might have...

This book begins with the brutal Soviet repression of the Solidarity Movement in Poland. A Polish Bishop, Karol Stanislawski, must flee for his life from the Soviets. Meanwhile a top US surgeon is enlisted by the American government to try to save the life of Soviet dictator Komarov. We are taken back to Auschwitz which Bishop Stanslawski survived as a young child, the the politics of the Vatican and of the Kremlin, where a second holocaust is being planned against the Jews. Bishop Stanilawski, with the help of Israel, is the only man standing in the way of the evil Soviet plans. The novel deals with some very real issues, some of which have outlived the cold war, such as the Marxist anti-semitism, practised today by Marxist-Leninist regimes like North Korea,Cuba, South Africa and Venezuela in their violent anti-Israel, pro-terror agendas. With the new anti-semitism and the very real threat today against Israel's existance against forces of absolute evil, we are reminded by Stanislawski at Auschwitz:" We are in a place of horror and shame. Each of us, whether Christian or Jew, has to share this burden, for beneath our feet rest our people...But to rememember is not enough! Evil cares nothing for memory. It understands that the presence is stronger than the past and the past stronger than the future still. What is with a man now, what he dreams of, aspires to, is more important to himthan that which has gone by. Evil preys upon memory, at first distorting, then slowly eroding it, until we ask ourselves: Did such athing actually happen? Could it have happened, or was it all a monstrous nightmare we should forget completely?...But we know the price of such abdication. We still bare the scars of such ignominity. And today we have come here to plege to those who are beyond our help, our comfort, and our tears that we will not turn from evil. We will resist it, search it out wherever it may be."

the best thriller book i've ever read!

Fast-paced, exciting and palpitating! I read this over and over again but I haven't gotten tired of it... shocking climax! Someday someone will make a film out of it.
