of his whereabouts. But all the leads proved to be false.
Now, James McGovern reveals what really happened to Martin Bormann. A former American agent, Mr. McGovern was in charge of the day-to-day operations of a worldwide CIA investigation of Bormann's disappearance. He tells for the first time what the CIA discovered and explains why all the reports of Bormann's whereabouts never led to Bormann himself.
Told too is the life story of this sinister man of mystery. In a land of evil men, Bormann stood out as the Machiavelli of Nazi Germany. Patiently, methodically, he picked ofif his rivals to power: Hess, Himmler and Goering. After Goering was captured, the Reich Marshal summed up his and the world's feeling about Martin Bormann. "I hope," said Goering, "he is frying in hell."
In this skillfully written, compelling biography, the man who lived in the shadows finally emerges. Vissza
