Product Information
A gripping biography of the infamous Nazi doctor, from a former Justice Department official tasked with uncovering his fate. Perhaps the most notorious war criminal of all time, Josef Mengele was the embodiment of bloodless efficiency and passionate devotion to a grotesque worldview. Aided by the role he has assumed in works of popular culture, Mengele has come to symbolize the Holocaust itself as well as the failure of justice that allowed countless Nazi murderers and their accomplices to escape justice. Whether as the demonic doctor who directed mass killings or the elusive fugitive who escaped capture, Mengele has loomed so large that even with conclusive proof, many refused to believe that he had died. As chief of investigative research at the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations in the 1980s, David G. Marwell worked on the Mengele case, interviewing his victims, visiting the scenes of his crimes, and ultimately holding his bones in his hands. Drawing on his own experience as well as new scholarship and sources, Marwell examines in scrupulous detail Mengele's life and career. He chronicles Mengele's university studies, which led to two PhDs and a promising career as a scientist; his wartime service both in frontline combat and at Auschwitz, where his "selections" sent innumerable innocents to their deaths and his "scientific" pursuits--including his studies of twins and eye color--traumatized or killed countless more; and his postwar flight from Europe and refuge in South America. Mengele describes the international search for the Nazi doctor in 1985 that ended in a cemetery in São Paulo, Brazil, and the dogged forensic investigation that produced overwhelming evidence that Mengele had died--but failed to convince those who, arguably, most wanted him dead. This is the riveting story of science without limits, escape without freedom, and resolution without justice.

Reviews
We had the right to expect historical erudition from this scholarly researcher and interrogator, but Marwell displays an unexpected mastery of genetic science and forensics to portray Auschwitz's 'Angel of Death.' Understanding the man, as Marwell uniquely does, will not lessen our revulsion of the magnitude of his crimes; while well in keeping with the scientific establishment of his time and nation, Mengele's scientific research at Auschwitz was monstrous. Marwell details his multiple escapes, identities, and careers, the 34-year search for his capture, and the political intrigue and rivalries between countries, Nazi hunters, and intelligence agencies that led to the discovery of his grave. While never stretching the facts beyond where they take him, Marwell tells a fascinating story of great importance., A chilling biography of the terrifying doctor who led a charmed life through the Nazi ranks--and eluded justice for decades....Marwell engrossingly describes the capture process....An eerily engaging life's work by a dogged researcher that adds materially to the Holocaust documentation., Has much new to tell us, both about Mengele himself and, more significant, about the social and scientific milieu that allowed him to flourish., David Marwell's Mengele is a fascinating historical work. How did Dr. Mengele come to epitomize the many medical atrocities committed by trained doctors at Auschwitz? How did he escape? How was he (almost) found? But it is far more than just exceptionally solid scholarship. It is also a thriller and a first-rate detective story written by someone who was part of the team that had to unravel this mystery., A chilling biography of the terrifying doctor who led a charmed life through the Nazi ranks--and eluded justice for decades...Marwell engrossingly describes the capture process...An eerily engaging life's work by a dogged researcher that adds materially to the Holocaust documentation., In Mengele, David Marwell has written the final and fascinating history of the Angel of Death. His prodigious research results in many new insights into one of the most notorious Nazis. Marwell is convincing in unlocking the long-standing mystery of what motivated Mengele to undertake his gruesome medical experiments on twin children. He also manages to fill in important gaps in Mengele's postwar life on the run and conclusively settles any lingering questions about whether the bones unearthed in 1979 in an unmarked grave in Brazil were those of the fugitive war criminal. Marwell, who played a personal role in some of the events he recounts, displays not only the refined eye of a historian but emerges as a talented storyteller. The often infuriating tale he sets forth moves along effortlessly. At long last, in this important book, Mengele has been captured., A fresh perspective on the notorious Auschwitz doctor, from his infamous experiments to the decades-long postwar search for him. Never losing sight of Mengele's monstrous activities, Marwell tackles common myths (why was Mengele really interested in twins? And why his fascination with eye color?) and, chillingly, traces the underlying links between his 'research' and respected scientific institutions. Further: as an Office of Special Investigations historian committed to tracking down this elusive mass murderer, Marwell brings special insight and a wealth of detail to his riveting discovery tale., A fresh perspective on the notorious Auschwitz doctor, from his infamous experiments to the decades-long postwar search for him.

The often infuriating tale he sets forth moves along effortlessly. At long last, in this important book, Mengele has been captured., David Marwell is a credible and authoritative voice on Josef Mengele and his role in the Holocaust. Marwell's biography of Mengele offers a compelling depiction of Mengele as a man, as a monster, and as a symbol of the Nazi experiment of remaking the world. Anyone wanting to understand the perverse mentality of hate that lay at the center of Nazism needs to read this book., David Marwell's Mengele is a fascinating historical work. How did Dr. Mengele come to epitomize the many medical atrocities committed by trained doctors at Auschwitz? How did he escape? How was he (almost) found? But it is far more than just exceptionally solid scholarship. It is also a thriller and a first-rate detective story written by someone who was part of the team that had to unravel this mystery, Compelling....At once a compact biography of the notorious war criminal, a detailed account of Mengele's flight to South America, and an absorbing narrative of the quest to bring him to justice., This is a book that only David Marwell could write after half a lifetime of studying and pursuing Josef Mengele. Marwell does more than portray the man, he details his multiple escapes, identities and careers, the 34-year search for his capture, the political intrigues, and rivalries between countries, Nazi hunters and intelligence agencies that led to Mengele's grave. A fascinating story of great importance., This is a book that only David Marwell could write after half a lifetime of studying and pursuing Josef Mengele.

Part-biography, part-memoir, Mengele is an outstanding achievement that conveys a sense of the man behind the myths and the difficulties of bringing closure for his victims., Marwell's lucid and legend-busting account of Josef Mengele's life and deeds--and of the intricate and elaborate detective work required to find and conclusively identify him--is both absorbing and authoritative.
