Sugihara Chiune: The Duty and Humanity of an Intelligence Officer (Japan Library)
Sugihara Chiune saved several thousand lives from the Nazis and USSR during World War II by issuing transit visas. Aware of the crisis confronting his nation early on, Sugihara maintained a precarious balancing act as he traveled around war-torn Europe closely analyzing the global situation. Shiraishi describes here for the first time the real person behind the diplomat and the truth behind the miraculous issue of those visas.
