    Mengele: The Complete Story

    Written by Gerald Posner, John Ware and Michael Berenbaum

    Narrated by Bruce Mann

    About this audiobook

    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.

      Posner has told the story of Josef Mengele better than any others that I have read. It describes his experiments on humans at Auschwitz, his escape, and his life in South America as well as the Nazi hunters who tried to track him down. I learned a lot from this book.

      Finally a book about Fowchii. It’s about darn time. It’s a great book, for the record.

      Interesting! Book describes his evil unthinkable acts. Then gives accounts of his flight. Then tells of his journeys. Then shares the hunt. Then his death…..
    • 4/5
      This isn't a straight-up biography. The authors spend one chapter on Mengele's life before Auschwitz, and one (albeit very detailed and horrific) chapter on his activities in Auschwitz, and the rest on his life as a fugitive and the decades-long hunt for him. But accounts of Mengele at Auschwitz can be got from numerous other sources. I was deeply distressed by how many near-misses there were, how many times they could have caught him and didn't. It's no consolation that he was lonely and miserable most of his time in South America.If you want to know the details of Mengele's crimes, you'd be better off reading memoirs and stuff about Auschwitz that talk about him. But the pursuit of him, and the pursuit of other Nazi war criminals as detailed in this book (Eichmann was kidnapped off a Buenos Aires street by Mossad agents, for example), makes for interesting and illuminating reading.
