For many, their only hope of salvation came in the form of a small, bespectacled British man: Frank Foley.

Described by a Jewish leader as "the Pimpernel of the Jews," Foley was an unsung hero of the Holocaust.

The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual imposes their own 'will to power' upon the world.
