British journalist and international espionage expert Gordon Thomas has a new story to write. He has discovered the secret of Dr. Vittorio Sacerdoti, an Italian physician who saved dozens of lives during World War II by diagnosing “K Syndrome” — sending the invading Nazis into a tailspin of fear over this dread disease.
If you pride yourself on medical sophistication but have never heard of “K Syndrome ” it doesn’t mean you’re scientifically ignorant or know nothing about pathology. The world’s top doctors haven’t heard of it either.
“K Syndrome” was the “disease” invented by Italian physician Dr. Vittorio Sacerdoti that was responsible for the rescue of dozens of Rome’s Jews during World War II. Dr. Sacerdoti the unsung hero of Rome’s Jewish ghetto remained anonymous for decades until he revealed his remarkable story to the BBC on the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Rome in 2004.
And now British writer and journalist Gordon Thomas is going to write that story.
Thomas a former political correspondent who has authored over fifty books is best-known as an expert on international spy rings including the Mossad. He lectures widely on the secret world of intelligence and regularly provides expert analysis on intelligence for US and European television and radio programs. His book Gideon’s Spies: Mossad’s Secret Warriors has been translated into sixteen languages.
