The book is absolutely all over the place. There is very little structure to the book. Even within chapters, the author is just all over the place. The book starts out as almost a semi-spi novel, and then swings into a regular non-fiction book. It is surreal at times. The main substance of the book is the fate of Martin Bormann. The author gives an incredible number of possible scenarios of his fate (too many to even think of listing here). The author also delves into the fates of many other ex-SS and ex-Nazi's. Some of that information was very revealing, but what really made me to continually shake my head, was the authors complete and total lack of foot notes! He quotes some incredible information, but yet one has no idea where this information came from. Absolutely incredible. The author makes some really incredible claims about Hitler, and yet we have no idea where the author came up with the info. What was the most interesting portion of the book was the author deep look at the spy within Hitler's inner circle, and I think he covers this fairly well. In fact, he left me with a desire to dig into this more in depth. That being said, the next books I will be reading is the Mueller Journals! (whether they are legit or not-- I will hopefully find out after reading them). Overall, this book is mess. I think there are definitely better books out there that will cover this material in a much more scholarly way. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
While the flames of World War II still raged, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin issued a warning to the Nazi leaders. Those responsible for the torture and murder of millions of innocent and defenseless civilians were promised that "... the three Allied Powers will pursue them to the furthest corners of the earth and deliver them to their judges so that justice may be done." That promise was not kept. Justice was not done. In 1945, twelve of the most notorious Nazis were tried for crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by the International Military Tribunal convened at Nuremberg. (Martin Bormann, his whereabouts unknown, had been tried and convicted in absentia.) Subsequent war-crimes trials ended in the conviction of other offenders. But the majority of the torturers and murderers escaped, found sanctuary, and continued to work effectively toward the concept of eventual world domination. Nazism did not die at Nuremberg. This survival and resurgence was the result of a plan for the creation of a "brotherhood" initiated long before the end of the war by the least visible and most powerful of the Nazi war lords--Martin Bormann. The Brotherhood, backed by virtually unlimited funds, established "safe" houses inside Germany, escape routes to other countries and continents, 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 cuts mercilessly into our present. This is essential reading, as fascinating as it is meaningful. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
