The Man With The Miraculous Hands The Fantastic Story of Felix Kersten, Himmler’s Private Doctor Joseph Kessel This amazing story of World War II chronicles the career of Dr. Felix Kersten, physician to the high-demon of the Third Reich, Heinrich Himmler. Kersten, an alternative-medicine specialist, could alleviate Himmler’s severe stomach pains with his hands, using massage and release of innocent prisoners condemned to die. By war’s end, thanks to Kersten, thousands of Jews and other prisoners had eluded the fate of the concentration camp. This is a memorable account of a little-known miracle of World War II. The late Joseph Kessel was the author of many other books, including The Lion. He lived in France. $16.95 Paperback History/World War II Classics of War Series 256 pages 5 x 8 ISBN: 1-58080-122-6
