"Robin Hood tales always entice, yet few are as madcap and captivating as this
rollicking portrait of Attila Ambrus, a Transylvanian refugee turned lousy pro-hockey
goalie turned legendary Hungarian bank robber and gentleman heartthrob in the
waning days of Communist rule. The subtitle of Rubinstein's book, the product of
three years of foreign reporting, underscores how truth is still stranger than fiction....
This is a Hollywood film waiting to be made, a crazy outlaw caper from `The Wild,
Wild East.'" - Seattle Post-Intelligencer

The writer of this language book expresses his gratitude to Julian Rubinstein for having
granted the permission to use extracts from the book entitled BALLAD OF THE WHISKEY
ROBBER. (Consent: March 07, 2007)
