Pursuit

Summary: Reply to Movie!
Review: I loved this book. It's a pity it's not in print anymore. It's about a Nazi death camp commander at the end of the war who takes the identity of a Jew he killed, in order to escape the wrath of the Russians. He immigrates to Palestine and becomes an independence (1948) war hero because he defended his kibbutz against the attacking murderous Arab forces. His story progresses to a great ending. I wish this book would be reprinted so that the masses could read it. It should be a movie.

Review: This was a great read and made into a t.v. movie several years ago, but I'm unable to recall the name. Obviously it was't called Pursuit. Any help out there?

Summary: Pursuit
Review: This was one of the most interesting Fiction reads I have had in years. Going from Nazi Concentration Camp Commander to inmate due to a final push of the German Forces, leaves the C.O. to endure a taste of his own treatment. Later he becomes a leader in the Isreali Forces and goes on to be a big leader there until the Nazi's blackmail him. In fact, I lost my copy and have spent years trying to track down who the aurthor was!! I highly recommend this book. Thanks Amazon for putting this together!!!

Review: Yes, The Pursuit is an absolutely fanastic read (my favourite book) and it was made into a movie called "A Twist of Fate" in 1989 starring Ben Cross and Veronica Hammel, but the movie wasn't able to capture the interesting notion of a Nazi in a "Jewish Body" and his complete hatred for what he has become... which to me was important.

I read it originally in about 1984, lent it to a friend who lost it, and spent the next 4 years searching for a copy - looking in Australia (where I live), the UK and finally finding a copy in Israel and another copy in San Diego in 1988. It was worth the search.

I'm pleased to see that it's available at amazon.com. Had the internet been around then, I would have saved weeks, phoning, and searching through shelves in second-hand book stores.
