- Summary:
-
"In 1986 the Nazi war crimes debate resurfaced in Australia, reignited by an investigative journalist, Mark Aarons. While Aarons investigated the public debate, Leslie Caplan moved it into the political arena. In his capacity as President of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ), he embarked on an overseas journey to discuss the renewed international efforts to bring Nazi war criminals to justice with the World Jewish Congress and his counterparts in the USA, Canada and Israel. Upon his return Leslie, known as the 'quiet achiever', began to lobby the Hawke government to take action."--Back cover.
