No government allied with, or occupied, by Germany, could withstand Hitler's demands to give up their Jews for total extermination by the Nazis under the Final Solution. Well, that is not quite true, and that is the crux of Wily Fox. Little Bulgaria, allied with Hitler in World War II, did just that. This is the story of how King Boris III out maneuvered and outwitted Hitler and used Hitler's own lies against him to protect Bulgaria's Jews.
Carl Steinhouse, a retired lawyer, was a federal prosecutor for the United States Department of Justice for 15 years after which he went into private practice specializing in class actions, white-collar crime, and civil and criminal trials. In the early fifties, he served as an intelligence analyst in the Army Counterintelligence Corps.
Mr. Steinhouse was Vice Chairman of the Antitrust Section of the American Bar Association, and on the editorial boards of two Bureau of National Affairs publications. He also wrote and edited books on grand jury practice, criminal trial practice, and criminal juries and a frequent lecturer at ABA National Institutes and video courses on grand jury and criminal trial practice. In 1996, he won the best short story award from the Naples Writers' Conference.
In the 80's and 90's he was active on an international level for the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, making several trips to Jerusalem and Helsinki on fact-finding missions and to the Soviet Union to aid Refusniks (those Jews the Soviets refused to let emigrate). A board member of the Cleveland Anti-Defamation League until 1999 and formerly on ADL's National Legal Affairs and National Fact Finding Committees, he was active in ADL matters, including monitoring activities of hate groups.
Mr. Steinhouse, had lost family in German-occupied territory during World War II, and was personally affected by the Holocaust. He recently participated in a Genocide Prevention program on the site of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.
He has published six books in his Holocaust series "Wallenberg is Here!", "Righteous and Courageous", "Improbable Heroes", "Barred", "Wily Fox", and "We Shall Be Called Israel!". The books received rave reviews from Holocaust scholars and authors.
The author is happily married and lives in Naples, Florida, where he does his writing.
