Wanted! The Search for Nazis in America
By Howard Blum
A gripping true-crime investigation into the postwar pursuit of Nazi fugitives on American soil. In this acclaimed nonfiction work, journalist Howard Blum uncovers the chilling stories of Nazi war criminals who found refuge in the United States—and the relentless individuals who hunted them down in the name of justice.
Book Synopsis
After World War II, several high-ranking Nazi collaborators slipped into the U.S. under false identities, blending into suburban life as priests, politicians, and community leaders. Wanted! follows four such men—Tscherim Soobzokov, Valerian Trifa, Andrija Artukovic, and Boleslavs Maikovskis—and the unlikely heroes who pursued them: a crusading immigration officer, a persistent dentist, and a waiter turned amateur sleuth. Blum weaves together suspenseful narrative and historical context to expose the bureaucratic indifference, political obstacles, and moral dilemmas that shaped America’s reckoning with its hidden war criminals.
