Based on exclusive and unrestricted access to more than 5,000 pages of personal writings and family photos, this definitive biography of German physician and SS-Hauptsturmfuhrer Josef Mengele (1911-1979) probes the personality and motivations of Auschwitz's "Angel of Death". From May 1943 through January 1945, Mengele selected who would be gassed immediately, who would be worked to death, and who would serve as involuntary guinea pigs for his spurious and ghastly human experiments (twins were Mengele's particular obsession). With authority and insight, Mengele examines the entire life of the world's most infamous doctor.

I went in not knowing much about Mengele other than the obvious. I've read hundreds of WW2 books and Mengele is touched on, but they never go into any depth. Anyways, I thought this book was fantastic. It stays interesting the entire time, gives a load of information, and something I really appreciate, it tells you what the outside world is thinking at the time. It helps put events in context. Also it makes movies from the 70s that touch on Mengele make a lot more sense.
The 2nd half of the book, about escaping to South America and being on the run is really interesting. Again, just hearing it in context of the time, how he's be hunted for, all the false alarms, all the people arrested that authorities thought was Mengele, how the news shaped events, it's remarkable stuff.
The reader does a good professional job. I listened at 1.3x speed, my usual, and it never felt overly rushed.
Great book, really interesting
