About this product

Product Information

The dramatic true story of the hunt to bring Nazi war criminals to justice, written with the pace of a real-life thriller At the end of the Second World War some of the highest ranking members of the Nazi party escaped from justice. Some of them are names that have resonated deeply in twentieth-century history - Eichmann, Mengele, Martin Bormann and Klaus Barbie - not just for the monstrosity of their crimes, but also because of the shadowy nature of their post-war existence, holed up in the depths of Latin America, always one step ahead of their pursuers. The nature of their escape was as gripping as any good thriller. They were aided and abetted by corrupt Catholic priests in the Vatican, they travelled down secret 'rat lines', hid in foreboding castles high in the Austrian alps, and were taken in by shady Argentine secret agents. The attempts to bring them to justice are no less dramatic, with vengeful Holocaust survivors, inept politicians, and daring plots to kidnap or assassinate the fugitives. Guy Walters has travelled the world in pursuit of the real account of how the Nazis escaped at the end of the war, the attempts, sometimes successful, to bring them to justice, and what really happened to those that got away. He has interviewed Nazi hunters, former members of Mossad, and poured through archives across the globe to bring this remarkable period of our recent history to dramatic and vivid life.

  • The Trouble with Ideology

    The trouble with ideology is that one must be entirely sure that the ideology is clear, well thought out and is not a threat to anyone. Nazisim was voted for by the masses before the warped brain of Hitler decided that Germany was to become a totalitarian state ,He seduced the nation by doing the right things to help it recover from WW1 then gradually but surely implemented new laws for his own gain in power. This resulted in mass genocide, murder ,theft ,and torture of innocent individuals who's only crime was to be Jewish by birth. This book is a well written account of the struggle to catch and apprehend those who implemented the "Final Solution" and murdered thousands in the process. One cannot and should not feel sorry for any of them and this book looks at these men who joined the ranks of depravity to become promoted and elevated to a higher rank within the Nazi Party. Interestingly when caught they all pleaded not guilty, not surprising as they lied to the German people from the outset. The book relates how these evil men were caught and brought to justice .Many of them are now dead and many are old men but in this well written book the author deals with the facts and therefore I would recommend it for anyone who may be interested in what happened to these evil creatures

  • War crime actions

    The sheer quantity of detail and information is astounding. The research must have taken years. Nor does it make very happy reading due to the ways that some of the war criminals were either protected or ignored. I would say this is almost a master work on the subject.
