PRAISE FOR THE FORGERS:

‘The Forgers is a well-constructed and agreeably concise book with a clear narrative drive and fascinating detail … Moorhouse’s most laudable achievement is the light he shines on Lados and his team, who saved at least 2,000 Jews from extermination. Until now, they have not received the recognition they deserve’ Gerard de Groot, The Times

‘Among the many remarkable aspects of The Forgers is the fact that the prime movers were Poles, many of whom were notorious for antisemitism … [Moorhouse] does well to highlight that some Poles displayed admirable compassion’ Max Hastings, Sunday Times

‘Roger Moorhouse, the leading historian on Poland’s war, publishes a full account of Lados’s efforts in an excellent book on the passport ring’ Daniel Finkelstein, The Times

‘Absorbing… It is a story that seems not to have been told much outside the academic literature, and it is deeply researched and well reported here’ Spectator

‘In this fascinating book, Roger Moorhouse shines a light on extraordinary, audacious and little-known rescue operation’ Mail on Sunday
