Description: Laurence Rees presents 35 of his most electrifying encounters, from Estera Frenkiel, a young Jewish woman given the chance to save ten fellow Jews from deportation and death to Hiroo Onoda, a Japanese soldier, so fanatical that he refused to surrender for 29 years after the end of the war.
