The war ended in 1945. But for the monsters of the Third Reich, the escape had just begun.
They were the architects of the Holocaust, the bureaucrats of death, the torturers of the Gestapo. They should have faced the gallows at Nuremberg. Instead, they received forged passports, escape routes through European monasteries, and lucrative jobs in new governments.
In Ratlines: The Vatican's Secret Route, Nuno Mourão exposes the colossal global conspiracy that allowed thousands of Nazi war criminals to walk free. From the silent complicity of the Catholic Church to the Cold War hypocrisy that brought Hitler’s scientists to NASA, this book reveals how global superpowers eagerly traded morality for tactical pragmatism.
Travel from the dusty streets of Damascus—where former SS officers trained Arab secret police—to the jungles of Bolivia and Chile, where men like Klaus Barbie orchestrated coups and carnage for South American dictators. And follow the bloody trail left by Nazi hunters, the Mossad, and the "Jewish Avengers," who proved that forgetting was never an option.
A web of espionage, diplomatic betrayal, and relentless vengeance. The true story of the Ratlines is more terrifying than any fiction.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Ratlines: The Vatican's Secret Route unveils one of the most controversial and least understood chapters of the 20th century: the clandestine networks that enabled Nazi war criminals to escape postwar Europe. Drawing on recently declassified documents, international archives, and Vatican sources, this rigorously factual investigation reveals how routes known as 'ratlines' were systematically organized to transport fugitives from Europe to safe havens in South America-often with the tacit or active support of religious institutions, neutral governments, and Western intelligence services.At the heart of the book is a detailed analysis of the roles played by key figures such as Bishop Alois Hudal and Father Krunoslav Draganovic, as well as the involvement of the International Red Cross, Argentine consulates, and the Catholic Church. The book explores the geopolitical context that made these operations possible, including the rising Cold War tensions that pushed Western powers to prioritize anticommunist alliances over justice.Covering the escape of infamous criminals like Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, and Ante Pavelic, Ratlines also examines the complicity of Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland, the logistics of false documents, and the ethical failures of international institutions. More than a historical exposé, this book is a call to confront uncomfortable truths about the past, with urgent lessons for the present.Perfect for readers of investigative history, religious studies, and international justice.
