Perfect for you if...

You're interested in how fascists evaded justice after WWII and the shadowy networks that enabled them.
You want meticulously researched history that reads like an espionage thriller, with primary sources and named conspirators.
You're curious about Argentina's political history and the postwar geopolitics that allowed criminals to vanish.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a fast-paced narrative. This is rigorous journalism that builds its case methodically, which means slower pacing.
You want a morality tale with clear heroes. The book shows complicity from governments, religious institutions, and countries you might admire.
You're looking for a tight focus on a single criminal's story. This sprawls across multiple perpetrators, countries, and bureaucratic webs.

About this book

This account examines an international network that facilitated the escape of Nazi war criminals to Argentina following World War II. As Russian forces advanced on Berlin, numerous Nazi officials fled Germany. Journalist Uki Goñi traces how war criminals including Adolf Eichmann, Joseph Mengele, Erich Priebke, and others reached Argentina with support from the Vatican and President Juan Perón, along with assistance from Scandinavia, Switzerland, and Italy. Based on extensive research, the book investigates a disquieting episode in European history and explores connections between Argentinian Catholic Nationalism and European Fascist movements. This edition includes new material and an introduction by Phillip Sands.
