When Nicholas Winton canceled his skiing holiday in favor of going to Prague to visit a friend, little did he know this decision would change the course of thousands of lives, including his own. As millions of Jewish families attempted to flee the growing clutches of the brutal Nazi war of terror, this twenty-nine-year-old stockbroker decided to act, pulling off one of the most remarkable rescue missions of the century. The British Oskar Schindler tells the story of this remarkable man’s life and those around him who helped him to achieve all he did.

Born in 1991, Edward Abel Smith grew up in Hertfordshire, England, before moving to Oxford to study Sociology & Anthropology at Oxford Brookes University.

​Edward's interest in Kindertransport led him to write his first book, Active Goodness, which he independently published through Kwill Publishing in 2017. Following this, Edward was commissioned by Pen & Sword to write Ian Fleming's Inspiration, a potted biography of the James Bond author's life - including working in World War II intelligence - which influenced his writing. Edward's books have been featured in The Times, the Telegraph, the Mail on Sunday, the Daily Express and the Washington Times. He has also appeared on several radio programs including BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio London and BBC World Service.

​In 2020, Edward was commissioned by Pen & Sword to write two further books, one based on the little known story of the women who organised the escape of over 15,000 endangered Jews from Prague during the Nazi invasion. The second is a biography of British humanitarian, Nicholas Winton.

​Edward lives in London with his wife, daughter and their dog, Vesper.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacks detail

I bought this as I wanted to read more about Nicholas Winton and the team that did so much to save hundreds of children from the Nazis. What was delivered was like a high level history exam essay that rushed through the events and gave very little detail. It was an interesting read but lacked so much.

A last note was the many spelling mistakes.
