Publisher Description
A Newsweek Best Book of the Year: “Captivating . . . rooted in first-rate research” (The New York Times Book Review).
In this New York Times bestseller, once-secret government records and interviews tell the full story of the thousands of Nazis—from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich—who came to the United States after World War II and quietly settled into new lives.
Many gained entry on their own as self-styled war “refugees.” But some had help from the US government. The CIA, the FBI, and the military all put Hitler’s minions to work as spies, intelligence assets, and leading scientists and engineers, whitewashing their histories. Only years after their arrival did private sleuths and government prosecutors begin trying to identify the hidden Nazis. Now, relying on a trove of newly disclosed documents and scores of interviews, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Eric Lichtblau reveals this little-known and “disturbing” chapter of postwar history (Salon).
Customer Reviews
Very Detailed Work Obtaining Justice
I was very impressed with the amount of detailed exhaustive research detailed in this book. I really felt like I got to know those trying to bring justice to millions of murdered victims. The CIA really did a major disservice to the United States in facilitating the immigration of these criminals. How dare they skirt their real involvement in bringing these traitors to our shores. They benefited from the very things they were trying to quell in WWII. I detested some of those men. Especially the guy from New Jersey who used his American naturalization rights to get him released from justice. I was not sad when he later died of injuries from a pipe bomb. I appreciate the hard work exemplified by Eli Rosenbaum and others he worked with the bring justice to millions that were murdered in the war. I don’t worry about those not caught and tried for they have another that will one day bring judgement upon them. They cannot escape God.
