The acclaimed author of A Man Called Intrepid reveals the underground network of Nazis who escaped after WWII and conspired to rebuild the Reich.
While the flames of World War II still raged, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin issued a warning to Nazi leaders that anyone responsible for the torture and murder of civilians would be pursued “to the furthest corners of the earth.” Yet this promise wasn’t kept. Despite numerous war crimes trials, many Nazi offenders escaped, found sanctuary, and formed a brotherhood that continued to pursue world domination.
The Brotherhood was the product of plans devised during the war by the least visible and most powerful of the Nazi war lords—Martin Bormann. Backed by virtually unlimited funds, the Brotherhood established “safe” houses inside Germany, escape routes to other countries, and an extensive international group of industrial firms as financial reservoirs and as “fronts” for escaped Nazis.
This chronicle, based upon independent investigation, including numerous exclusive interviews and the examination of declassified and revealing documents, casts a new light upon Bormann, his strange role in the Third Reich, and his devastating influence, which extended far beyond the end of the war.
