Aftermath by Ladislas Farago (1974, Book, Illustrated)

AFTERMATH - MARTIN BORMANN and the FOURTH REICH by Ladislas Farago, writes:

"Martin Bormann, former Reichsleiter, head of the Nazi Party chancery and secretary to the Fuhrer, survived WWII and managed to escape to Argentina in 1948, with the help of the Peron regime.

"When I was in contact with him in February 1973, he had just moved from Chile to southern Bolivia. A very sick man, he was cared for by four German nursing sisters of the Redemptorist Order in their convent near Tupiza, a remote region of Potosi Province in the Andes.

"Until recently, Bormann was in Argentina, again enjoying the hospitality and protection of the man he called the "great benefactor," the late President Juan Domingo Peron.

"He was living on a secluded estate of friends just north of the General Paz Speedway, overlooking the Rio de la Plata. He was as well and comfortable as a man of his age could be - he celebrated his 74th birthday on June 17, 1974."

"Aftermath reveals the story of Ladislas Farago's hunt for Martin Bormann - and of the documents, discoveries, adventures, and revelations that finally led to his personal confrontation with Bormann himself. Here at last is the astonishing story of the escape, the life in exile, and the current wherabouts of the former Reichsleiter..."


Aftermath reveals a big and astonishing story - about Ladislas Farago himself. His daring risks in researching and investigating unearthed a complex and dangerous conspiracy to transform the South American "New World" into a "Fourth Reich."

This book makes "The Boys From Brazil" even MORE believable!

The cast of characters include such men as General Heinrich Muller, the sinister and mysterious Gestapo chief, Dr. Josef Mengele of Auschwitz, Klaus Barbie, the Gestapo butcher of Lyons, Friedrich Schwend, the master Nazi forger, Herbert Cukurs, and Franz Stangl, thugs of the Final Solution (The Holocost), and a host of lesser-known Nazis-in-exile, police spies, businessmen, informers, and conspirators.

Hitler's vast fortune found its way to South America - Peron aided the Nazi war criminals.

I wish I could shake the author's hand...
