As new condition black boards, red spine, and gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clippd color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Guy Walters; Author Dedication; Preface; Epilogue; Notes; Bibliography;…Picture Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "Already acclaimed in England as "first-rate" (Sunday Times), "a model of meticulous, courageous, and path-breaking scholarship" (Literary Review), and "absorbing and thoroughly gripping .deserves a lasting place among historys of the war" (Sunday Telegraph). Hunting Evil is the first complete and definitive account of how the Nazis escaped and were pursued and captured - or managed to live long lives as fugitives. At the end of the Second World War, an estimated thirty thousand Nazi war criminals fled from justice, including some of the highest-ranking members of the Nazi Party. Many of them have names that resonate 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. Aided and abetted by prominent people throughout Europe, they 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, featuring vengeful Holocaust survivors, inept politicians, and daring plots to kidnap or assassinate the fugitives. In this exhaustively researched and compellingly written work of World War II history and investigative reporting, journalist and novelist Guy Walters gives a comprehensive account of one of the most shocking and important aspects of the war: how the most notorious Nazi war criminals escaped justice; how they were pursued, captured, or able to remain free until their natural deaths; and how the Nazis were assisted while they were on the run by "helpers" ranging from a Vatican bishop to a British camel doctor, and even members of Western intelligence services. Based on all-new interviews with Nazi hunters and former Nazis and intelligence agents, travels along the actual escape routes, and archival research in Germany, Britain, the United States, Austria, and Italy, Hunting Evil authoritatively debunks much of what has previously been understood about Nazis and Nazi hunters in the post-war era, including myths about the alleged "Spider" and "Odessa" escape networks and the surprising truth about the world's most legendary Nazi hunter, Simon Wiesenthal. From its haunting chronicle of the heinous mass murders the Nazis perpetrated and the murky details of their post-war existence to the challenges of hunting them down. Hunting Evil is a monumental work of nonfiction written with the pacing and intrigue of a thriller." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "In 1945, Europe teemed with persecuted and destitute humanity, millions of people displaced by war. Creeping among them were the architects of their distress, Nazis who had ruled Europe with unspeakable savagery and now found themselves outcast. Natural justice demanded retribution. Yet the allied machinery for identifying and arresting war criminals, other than the most notorious, was woefully inadequate .Walters's account of what happened is first-rate." - Sunday Times. "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. Shailer, Richard (jacket design) (illustratore).
