All of you who listen metal know about Slayer´s anthem Angel of Death, ain´t that right? Well, you might know that the song is based upon life and crimes of Josef Mengele, SS doctor in concentration death camp Auschwitz who experimented upon living twins, women, men, children of all ages and later on escaped and myths and legends were created of his life, death, escape…

Well, David G. Marwell, former chief of OSI, decided to put final touch on this villain, writing a book which will unmask the myths, bring forth real man behind the fear and legends and thus help understand better the nature of true evil. This book is a documentary in two halfs or parts. First is Mengele´s childhood, student days, entering SS and Auschwitz days. Second half is escape, chase and facts about Mengele´s death, exhumation of his body and forensic investigation whether the bones are really him or is it another scam and he still lives somewhere safe. This book does not try to explain or investigate into his sanity, his deeds or his reasons behind it, it is straight cold facts but written in style of exciting fun to read thriller and it just makes you turn the page after page and reaching the conclusion. Good one.
