Summary

At the end of the Second World War, some of the highest ranking Nazis escaped from justice, Aided and abetted by the Vatican, they travelled down secret 'rat lines' and were taken in by shady Argentine secret agents. Vengeful Holocaust survivors and inept politicians attempted to bring them to justice and there were daring plots to kidnap or assassinate the fugitives.

Guy Walters has travelled the world in pursuit of the real account of how the Nazis escaped at the end of the war, the attempts to bring them to justice, and what happened to those that got away.

Great book! Poor production!

the book is fascinating, well researched and entertainingly told. The narrator is good, versatile and clear, if a little ponderous in delivery (listening at 1.10 speed makes this better).

However, the complete lack of sense in the audible chapters is infuriating. Book chapters begin and end in the middle of the 'Audible' chapters, even though the style of writing is anecdotal and episodic so that chapters could easily be divided up between one anecdote and another. Some 'Audible' chapters even cut particular accounts in half and one cut comes, seemingly, in the middle of a paragraph! Having listened to an 'A' chapter before bed I was forced, regularly, to rewind a few minutes the next day to remind me of what was happening. Very Poor! Very Lazy!

Interesting account

The most memorable moments are those about Simon Wiesenthal but I found the whole book interesting. Very well read by Daniel Philpott.

Three stars.

Starts well but soon descends into a character assassination of Simon Wiesenthal. Bizarre. Best avoided.

Very good and informative

Thoroughly interesting and fascinating listen. Like always, readers should learn how to pronounce names before attempting silly accents, but that's a minor quibble.

Initial download was corrupted somehow, but deleting and doing it again worked fine.

Highly recommended

I found this book to be really informative, comprehensive and often harrowing. The author leaves no stone unturned, and is direct in his frequent challenge of popular historical accounts of Nazi hunting.

Interesting Viewpoint

This book looks at some of the links between the Catholic Church and the Nazi’s on the run from prosecution which is shameful and interesting. It also describes the difficulty the Allies brought upon themselves because they failed to address these crimes at the time, due to improper funding and resources. The history channels are full of revulsion for these acts of horror played out during WW2 but this book is evident that we really don’t care at all. Very few faced trial do these crimes, not that is criminal.

Very informative and Shocking

This book was very informative and it surprised me on how many governments including my own turned their backs on what happen to the Jewish people in WW2 the people who carried out these acts should have been hunted properly and brought to justice. A well written book and narrative very well recommended as it given me an insight that I did not learn at School

Never shall the guilty sleep

Very difficult to listen to at times but a must for debunking the holocaust deniers

At last a true account of the “ Nazi Hunters “

A well wrote and fact filled account of both the criminals, their crimes and the life on the run. Some well known Nazi hunters are finally shown in their true light.
