The Hitler Legacy

A worthy sequel to Levenda's acclaimed works, "Unholy Alliance" and "Ratline."More than thirty years after his first investigation of the Nazi underground--which saw him detained at Chile's notorious Colonia Dignidad--Peter Levenda has returned again and again to his quest for the truth about the genuine character of the Nazi cult and the people and political movements it has influenced in the decades since the end of World War Two.The wide sweep of this investigations moves from a Ku Klux Klan headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania to the New York City office of the Palestine Liberation Organization; from the apartment of a notorious neo-Nazi leader to the Islamic boarding school--headquarters of the man who ordered the Bali Bombings. When Levenda uncovered the existence of a Nazi underworld in Asia, the nexus of religion, politics, terrorism and occult beliefs was revealed to be the real domain of the threat to global security.This book will challenge all you are accustomed to believe about such subjects as the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist terrorism; about such popular concepts as ODESSA and the underground Nazi network that has been financing global terror since the post-war period; and even about the alleged death of one of history's most infamous killers, Adolf Hitler.Meticulously researched--from both archival material and declassified intelligence agency files, to personal interviews and investigations undertaken in Asia, Europe and Latin America--"The Hitler Legacy" is the story of how the mistakes of the twentieth century have come home to roost in the twenty-first. The failure of American, British and Soviet intelligence agencies to hunt down Nazi war criminals and disrupt their networks meant that we were unprepared when a similar enemy decided to use the same structures to prosecute their campaigns.
