The dust jacket reads:Six very different men, united only by their vanity, ambition and fawning adulation of Hitler, and by the fact that they all aided and abetted him in his amoral project. Ribbentrop-swindled his way into the position of Hitler's principal negotiator-where he deliberately provoked the war his Fuhrer wanted. Bormann-the eminece grise of the Third Reich, who controlled all access to Hitler and turned the dictator's slightest whim into executive action. Schirach-the half-American student-poet, who brought first the young elite, then the whole of German youth into line behind Hitler. Freisler-the haranguing, hanging judge, who sent many brave Germans to their death for the'crime' of rejecting Nazism .Finally, Eichmann and Mengele-two instrumental perpetrators of the Holocaust: Eichmann the deportation expert, and Mengele, the perverted, white-gloved death-camp 'doctor', who used his helpless victims as guinea-pigs in pointless and usually fatal expermients. Four of these men met violent ends by war or execution, while Schirach emerged from twenty years in Spandau gaol, a broken half-blind man. Only Mengele eluded justice, though he spent the rest of his life wandering from one seedy South American hideout to another. Together they exemplify the mediocrity, cynicism and latent evil; that made Hitler and Nazixm possible.
