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.
