Review:
Booker Prize Winner in 1982. More than 1300 Jews, who would have disappeared into the concentration camp at Ploznow, were rescued by Oscar Schindler, industrialist, bon viveur and Nazi Party member, who used his influence and risked his life to save over 1000 Jews from the gas chambers. (Kirkus UK)

With SCHINDLER'S ARK he has given us his best book yet, a magnificent novel which held me from the first page to the last' -- Alan Sillitoe 'This remarkable book has the immediacy and the almost unbearable detail of a thousand eye witnesses who forgot nothing' -- New York Times Book Review
