The Real Odessa
How Peron Brought the Nazi War Criminals to Argentina
By Uki Goñi

"It has long been known that Adolf Eichmann, Josef
Mengele, Erich Priebke and many other war criminals
found refuge in Argentina. Now, for the first time, a
courageous Argentinian writer shows exactly how it was
done—and reveals that the escape mechanisms were
organised with the enthusiastic support of President
Juan Peron. 

Drawing on American intelligence documents and
previously unseen documents from European archives, he
shows how from 1946 onwards a Nazi escape operation
was based at the Presidential Palace in Buenos Aires.
It had tentacles in Scandinavia, Switzerland and Italy
and relied on the complicity of the Vatican, the
Argentine Catholic Church and the Swiss authorities.
Even at this late date, the discoveries made in this
fascination, meticulously researched book still have
the power to shock. "
