At a time when the Nazis were hanging on desperately for survival, and while chaos reigned in Germany, Count Folke Bernadotte, along with the Swedish Red Cross and the Danish government, conducted negotiations with Heinrich Himmler. Sune Persson´s book is simply put one of the most important ones for any student of the Nordic states during WWII.

It also details Bernadotte's harrowing expedition to Ravensbrück concentration camp and his extraordinary negotiations with Heinrich Himmler the Reichsführer-SS who was in charge of the German concentration camps. Until I read this book I did not know the story of the white buses and the determination of those who wanted to save others from the death camps.

During the course of these discussions Himmler also made an offer of German surrender – an offer that was rejected by the Allies – but remains one of the most interesting episodes of the war.
