Addresses numerous moments in the book and film, [Schindler's List], that were incorrectly recounted, either--in good cases--simplifying the script to make the film easier to follow, or--in bad cases--leaving out or distorting important parts of the story that provide a truer picture of this flawed but heroic man and the later suffering in his life. Until I figured out the approach of the author, I had a hard time getting into it. Soon found it fascinating. This is the true story of Oskar Schindler, not the romanticized version of Schindler's List, with many interesting details of his early life and post-war experiences that are not found in the other book. A good example is that a movie was to be made about his wartime experiences in the early 1960s, but unfortunately the deal fell through. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Spy, businessman, bon vivant, Nazi Party member, Righteous Gentile. This was Oskar Schindler, the controversial man who saved eleven hundred Jews during the Holocaust but struggled afterwards to rebuild his life and gain international recognition for his wartime deeds. David Crowe examines every phase of Schindler's life in this landmark biography, presenting a savior of mythic proportions who was also an opportunist and spy who helped Nazi Germany conquer Poland.

The tale of how the "List" was really prepared is one of the most intriguing parts of the Schindler story that Crowe tells here for the first time. Forced into exile after the war, success continually eluded Schindler and he died in very poor health in 1974. He remained a controversial figure, even in death, particularly after Emilie Schindler, his wife of forty-six years, began to criticize her husband after the appearance of Steven Spielberg's film in 1993. In Oskar Schindler, Crowe steps beyondthe mythology that has grown up around the story of Oskar Schindler and looks at the life and work of this man whom one prominent Schindler Jew described as "an extraordinary man in extraordin No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

As a side note, I read this on Kindle, and it’s obvious there was made absolutely no attempt to optimize the book for this device, as hyphens and other typographical errors appeared on virtually every page.
Other than that, this seems to be the definite source I would recommend to anybody interested in the Schindler story. ( )
