Already an international sensation, Aftermath reveals the story of Ladislas Farago's hunt for Martin Bormann-and oi 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 whereabouts of the former Reichsleiter.

resourcefulness of Mr. Farago____1 have my own
reasons for thinking that Bormann may well have passed to ftafy and thence to South America____" Though the controversy about Bormann
has captured the attention of the world's press (and is likely to do so again with the long-awaited revelation of his hiding place, the actual travel documents with which he traveled to South America and changed his identity, the record of his medical treatments, and his private diaries and writings), Aftermath in fact reveals a bigger and more astonishing story—for Ladislas Farago, with the daring flair for research and historical investigation that made his previous book. The Game of the Foxes, a number-one best seller, has unearthed the complex and dangerous conspiracy that led the Nazi fugitives to South America and still protects them there, and the incredible details of their life in the New World they have transformed into a "Fourth Reich."
His cast of characters includes such men as General Heinrich Müller, 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 Finai Solution; and a host of lesser-known Nazis-in-exiie, police spies, businessmen, informers and conspirators.
Here is the story of how Hitler's vast fortune found its way to South America; of Perón's com-: piicity in aiding the Nazi war criminals; of the (continued on back flap)

FBI's search for Bormann in 1948; of Eichmann's capture and its effect on his fellow Nazis; of the Nazi business enterprises that have made certain of the exiles rich and powerful men in their reluctantly adopted countries; of the birth of a second generation of Nazis who have never even seen their homeland.
Here at last is the record of the Vatican's crucial role in supplying the Nazis with passports and travel documents; of the machinations, murders and plots that surrounded the transfer of a vast fortune from Germany to South America; of the strange, closed world of these hunted men, who still live in fear of capture and judgment.
Based upon interviews (some of which will make headlines throughout the world), documents and secret files, Aftermath is the first real record of a remarkable and successful worldwide conspiracy, one which began in the flaming ruins of a defeated Nazi Germany and ended on another continent in a new Nazi hierarchy, with the elusive gran fugitive, Martin Bormann, at its head.
