On the trail of war criminals. More than seventy years after the end of World War II, the last Nazi criminals die. Their time is coming to an end, as well as the time of those who hunted them for several decades without a break.The forces that prevailed in World War II quickly lost interest in the pursuit of German war criminals. The Cold War gave many of them the chance to blend into a multimillion-dollar crowd of those who tried to start anew and the greatest criminals rushed to leave Europe. Andrew Nagorski, an excellent journalistic pen, describes the fate of a small group of steadfast people who did not intend to allow the crimes of the Third Reich to be forgotten. The author shows how, with determination and tenacity, and sometimes bravado, they tracked war criminals, both famous as Rudolf Hss, Adolf Eichmann and Klaus Barbie, concealing the war past, as former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, or unknown larger camp guards. We meet American, Polish and German lawyers, Mossad agents, victims of Nazism and idealists who spend their entire lives chasing criminals and fighting to make justice happen.
