Nazis Next Door

Thousands of Nazis ? from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich ? came to the United States after World War II, many pretending to be refugees, and quietly settled into new lives. Some even had help and protection from the U.S. government. The CIA, the FBI, and the military all put Hitler's minions to work as spies, intelligence assets, and scientists, whitewashing their histories. Only years later did private sleuths and government prosecutors begin trying to identify the hidden Nazis, and American intelligence agencies secretly worked to protect a number of their prized spies from exposure. Now, Eric Lichtblau ? relying on a trove of newly disclosed documents and scores of interviews ? tells the shocking and shameful story of how America became a safe haven for Hitler's men. AUTHOR: Eric Lichtblau is a New York Times investigative reporter and winner of the Pulitzer Prize. He has appeared as a guest on CNN, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, and elsewhere. He is the author of 'Bush's Law: The Remaking of American Justice'. 25 b/w photographs
