Eizenstat, Stuart Imperfect Justice: Looted Assets, Slave Labor, and the Unfinished Business of World War II
1586482408 / 9781586482404; A tale of monstrous corruption, titanic egos, and delicate diplomacy." - The Washington Post. Elie Wiesel has provided the foreword to this intriguing book. Imperfect Justice is Eizenstat's personal account of how the Holocaust became a political and diplomatic battleground fifty years after the war's end, as the issues of dormant bank accounts, slave labor, confiscated property, looted art, and unpaid insurance policies convulsed Europe and America. He recounts the often heated negotiations with the Swiss, the Germans, the French, the Austrians, and various Jewish organizations, showing how these moral issues, shunted aside for so long, exposed wounds that had never healed and conflicts that had never been properly resolved. Eizenstat's account shows that it is still possible to take positive steps in the service of justice. Includes a new epilogue. 417 pages, including notes and an index. Spine tail is lightly bumped. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
