Product Information
"[A] deep and sweeping account of a relentless search for justice." -- The Washington Post More than seven decades after the end of the Second World War, the era of the Nazi Hunters is drawing to a close as they and the hunted die off. Their saga can now be told almost in its entirety. After the Nuremberg trials and the start of the Cold War, most of the victors in World War II lost interest in prosecuting Nazi war criminals. Many of the lower-ranking perpetrators quickly blended in with the millions who were seeking to rebuild their lives in a new Europe, while those who felt most at risk fled the continent. The Nazi Hunters focuses on the small band of men and women who refused to allow their crimes to be forgotten--and who were determined to track them down to the furthest corners of the earth. The Nazi Hunters reveals the experiences of the young American prosecutors in the Nuremberg and Dachau trials, Benjamin Ferencz and William Denson; the Polish investigating judge Jan Sehn, who handled the case of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss; Germany's judge and prosecutor Fritz Bauer, who repeatedly forced his countrymen to confront their country's record of mass murder; the Mossad agent Rafi Eitan, who was in charge of the Israeli team that nabbed Eichmann; and Eli Rosenbaum, who rose to head the US Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations that belatedly sought to expel war criminals who were living quietly in the United States. But some of the Nazi hunters' most controversial actions involved the more ambiguous cases, such as former UN Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim's attempt to cover up his wartime history. Or the fate of concentration camp guards who have lived into their nineties, long past the time when reliable eyewitnesses could be found to pinpoint their exact roles. The story of the Nazi hunters is coming to a natural end. It was unprecedented in so many ways, especially the degree to which the initial impulse of revenge was transformed into a struggle for justice. The Nazi hunters have transformed our fundamental notions of right and wrong. Andrew Nagorski's book is a richly reconstructed odyssey and an unforgettable tale of gritty determination, at times reckless behavior, and relentless pursuit.

Reviews
AndrewNagorski has produced an important work--a well-written and revealing bookabout the darkest acts of World War II., A Reminder of the Fact That the Nazi Trials of the Last 70 Years Were Never a Foregone Conclusion., The Nazi Hunters is, variously, horrifying, informative, exciting and enlightening, but it must be read in small doses for there is so much in it to grasp., Far more intriguing than any Hollywood production. The proofs highlight every page of Andrew Nagorski's The Nazi Hunters , a new study of the evildoers and how they were pursued. . . . [Nagorski] has a discerning eye and a gift for the revealing anecdote., The Nazi hunters, like their prey, are passing away. As Nagorski points out, that "is why their stories can and should be told now." His book captures their work in vivid and detailed prose. For journalists, it provides the added enjoyment of reading about other people's investigative tricks and tools. The Nazi Hunters stands as both a tribute to, and a record, of a unique handful of people who devoted their lives to justice., Andrew Nagorski, author of the mesmerizing Hitlerland , has made a definitive and invaluable contribution to the historical record with his outstanding successor work, The Nazi Hunters . Integrating the diffuse strands of a great decades long drama before a vanishing window of history has closed, the author has crafted the fascinating and emotionally galvanizing narrative of the hunt for notorious Nazi fugitives ranging from Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele to the SS officers and concentration camp commandants who fled from the ashes of Germany's defeat in World War II. Not only an investigative and intelligence page-turner, The Nazi Hunters tells the story of an epic and global quest for justice rather than revenge., Far more intriguing than any Hollywood production. The proofs highlight every page of Andrew Nagorski's The Nazi Hunters , a new study of the evildoers and how they were pursued. . . . [Nagorski] has a discerning eye and a gift for the revealing anecdote., A comprehensive treatment of the dogged men and women whose heroic efforts restored a measure of justice to millions of murdered souls., A Thrilling Nonfiction Account of Postwar Justice. . . . Detailed, Dramatic, and at Times Gripping., An admirably accessible and intimate narrative. . . . [Nagorski] reveals the differences in tactics, politics and personalities that have led to feuds among the Nazi hunters themselves. . . . for all their rivalries and failings, the Nazi hunters are saluted by Nagorski for their accomplishments: not just in helping to prosecute the most egregious of the perpetrators, but also in etching the details of Nazi crimes -- beyond doubt or dispute -- in the historical record., Andrew Nagorski's The Nazi Hunters comes at a significant point, at the juncture between living memory and the historical record... His account is highly objective and balanced... It's a narrative that will hold you, even if you've followed this story over the decades., Andrew Nagorski has produced an important work--a well-written and revealing book about the darkest acts of World War II., Andrew Nagorski, author of the mesmerizing Hitlerland , has made a definitive andinvaluable contribution to the historical record with? his outstandingsuccessor work, The Nazi Hunters . Notonly an investigative and intelligence page-turner, The Nazi Hunters tells the story of an epic and global questfor justice rather than revenge., The author provides fascinating insight into those who continued to pursue war criminals after the spotlight had faded., The world failed the victims not only during the Holocaust but afterwards, as perpetrators were allowed to go on with their lives. A few determined Nazi hunters tried to bring justice. This is their story. It must be read., A war continued after World War II to bring its mass murderers to justice. Andrew Nagorski tells the story of the dogged search by some for the killers as well as the accommodations made by others to let this sordid chapter of history remain buried. Meticulously researched, superbly written, The Nazi Hunters is fascinating--disturbing, to be sure--but fascinating., The Nazi Hunters is, variously, horrifying, informative, exciting and enlightening, but it must be read in small doses for there is so much in it to grasp., Andrew Nagorski's The Nazi Hunters comes at a significant point, at the juncture between living memory and the historical record… His account is highly objective and balanced… It's a narrative that will hold you, even if you've followed this story over the decades., Andrew Nagorski spins a gripping, historically urgent narrative in The Nazi Hunters . He demonstrates that how we deal with the most evil perpetrators among us, is as much about who we are as it is about the criminals. The Nazi Hunters is really about the present: are we willing to do the consuming and often thankless work of holding criminals from the Balkans to the Middle East and Africa accountable for unspeakable acts? This could not be a more timely reminder of the world's moral responsibility toward perpetrators of war crimes., Vivid, reader-friendly . . . Mr. Nagorski's fine book is comprehensively informative and a highly involving read., " Andrew Nagorski has produced an important work--a well-written and revealing book about the darkest acts of World War II." -Alan Furst, author of Spies of Warsaw and Kingdom of Shadows "The world failed the victims not only during the Holocaust but afterwards, as perpetrators were allowed to go on with their lives.

Some, Simon Wiesenthal and the Klarsfelds, are well known. But the most fascinating aspect of the book is Nagorski's portrayal of less well-known figures: the Polish judge Jan Sehn, who first investigated the Nazi death camps; the German prosecutor, Fritz Bauer, who instigated both the capture of Eichmann and the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial; and William Denson, who convicted hundreds of the most notorious concentration camp guards." -Christopher Browning, author of Ordinary Men and The Origins of the Final Solution "A war continued after World War II to bring its mass murderers to justice.
