About the author

David G. Marwell, Ph.D. has had a distinguished career in public history. He spent nine years at the US Department of Justice, where, as Chief of Investigative Research, he conducted research in support of the investigation and prosecution of Nazi war criminals in the United States. As a part of this effort, he played major roles in the Klaus Barbie and Josef Mengele investigations and helped to author the two major reports that resulted. In 1988, he went to Berlin to become the (last) Director of the Berlin Document Center, a repository for captured personnel-related files of the Nazi Party and its component organizations. After overseeing the complete microfilming of the collection, Marwell returned to the US, in 1994, to become the Executive Director of the JFK Assassination Records Review Board, an independent federal agency established to identify, locate, and make available to the public (through declassification) all records relating to the assassination of President Kennedy. Following this service, he became the Associate Museum Director at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, overseeing key museum departments (exhibitions, collections, archives, education, international programs, library). In 2000, Marwell was appointed Director & CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City and led this important institution for fifteen years, before stepping down at the end of 2015.

Aside from the first hand tale of the search the book traces Mengele's, often quite bizarre, life from birth to death and dispels a few myths that have become "fact" over the years, the sightings all over the world and the common description of him as a tall blonde Aryan stereotype amongst others..
The book goes into great detail and at times it can be hard work but those times are Marwell explaining in layman's terms Mengele's,albeit twisted,motivation and theories and essential to understanding the man and the connivance of the German "scientific community", if they deserve that description. Many incidentally,as the book describes,were stripped of their degrees and doctorates after the war for their part in the the whole disgusting and horrific enterprise.
A fascinating book that might well get a bit too mired in detail occasionally for the casual reader but has to be the definitive book about Mengele.
Big thanks to David G.Marwell ,W W Norton & Company and Netgalley for the ARC.
