I've read about these Nazis who were brought to America in numerous other books. But this is the first book I've read detailing the investigations to convict and deport some of them. How they ever came to the U.S. and were granted citizenship is a blot on our history.
The Soviet Union's knowledge of these cases---in the hundreds, if not thousands---helped the Soviets rationalize their disbelief in America's stand for justice in the world. Not that the Soviet system was any better than what the Nazis had.
It's not enough to wipe the traces of honors given these Nazis---the awards, building and street names, etc---we need to do teh same for those members of the U.S. military, Department of Justice, FBI and CIA who helped conceal these monsters. If you read this book, I draw your attention to page 85, where Attorney General Robert Kennedy refused to help the Nazi hunters.
