At the end of the Second World War some of the highest-ranking members of the Nazi party escaped justice. Names like Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Martin Bormann, and Klaus Barbie have resonated in 20th-century history not just for the monstrosity of their crimes, but also because of the shadowy nature of their postwar existence, holed up in the depths of Latin America, always a step ahead of their pursuers. World War II authority Guy Walters tracks down their histories here—how they were pursued, captured, or able to remain free—and uncovers the assistance they received, from such "helpers" as a Vatican bishop, a British camel doctor, and even members of Western intelligence services. "The depth of research here is both impressive and convincing.... Walters has managed to weave this mass of information into an absorbing and thoroughly gripping whole... [He] proves emphatically that the reality of Nazi hunting is far more fascinating than the myth."—Sunday Telegraph (London) "Guy Walters's compelling and thoroughly researched account of the war criminals who escaped justice, the half-hearted attempts of the Allies to pursue them, and the unwavering support they received from sympathizers is a timely reminder of the many skeletons in Europe's cupboard."—Times Literary Supplement
