Harold Holt was a pivotal prime minister in Australian history. Ambitious, modern and telegenic, he helped bring his party and nation into the late twentieth century, following the Menzies years. Nowhere was Holt's legacy more significant than in the 1967 referendum, and in helping to end the White Australia policy. At the same time, as the Vietnam War raged, Holt dramatically increased Australian troops, telling President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966 that Australia was 'all the way with LBJ'. In this evocative, intimate and deeply researched biography, Ross Walker captures the worlds in which Holt moved and the people who were close to him. He reveals a popular, gentle, yet at times self-destructive man, whose tendency to always go one step further would have fatal consequences. This is a strikingly original portrait of Australia's seventeenth prime minister.

Mijn instinct had me gewaarschuwd dat Alex Volkov een gevaarlijke man is. Mijn geest vertelde me om het op een lopen te zetten toen hij met onveranderlijke vastberadenheid zijn zinnen op me had gezet. Het is niet dat ik niet heb geprobeerd om het te weerstaan, maar Alex had een plan van actie. Hij was me altijd een stap voor en trok me vakkundig dieper in zijn web. Zelfs toen hij me vrijheid gaf, was het slechts een illusie.Nu is zelfs die illusie verdwenen. Ik ben in de ware zin van het woord zijn gevangene, meegenomen naar Rusland met zijn privévliegtuig. Ik heb niets meer te zeggen, niet zolang ons leven in gevaar is, en misschien nooit meer. Ons verhaal balanceert op een dunne lijn tussen ramp en geluk. Met elke dag die verstrijkt, word ik minder zeker van welke kant de munt op zal vallen... of dat we het überhaupt zullen overleven.Opmerking: Dit is de conclusie van het verhaal van Alex en Kate.

The book opens with the girl at age 16 leaving her home in southeastern Poland and posing as a gentile from the Ukraine named Katya. The story follows Eva as she works as a maid in the home of a prominent Austrian family in Linz (the husband is an SS officer), and then as an office worker in a German munitions factory. When she is eventually discovered to be a Jew, she is sent to Auschwitz. After the evacuation of the camp she manages to escape, finding refuge with a Polish family. At the end of the novel she is trying to find her family and home, difficult because so many Jewish communities in Eastern Europe had been destroyed. In real life, Ida Loew made her way to Israel after the war where she settled in Tel Aviv.
