The Real Odessa: How Peron Brought the Nazi War Criminals to Argentina: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Real Odessa: How Peron Brought the Nazi War Criminals to Argentina" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
It has long been known that Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele, Erich Priebke and many other Nazi war criminals found refuge in Argentina. In this book, a courageous Argentinian writer shows exactly how it was done, and reveals that the escapes were organized with the enthusiastic support of President Juan Peron. Even at this late date, when so much is known about the complicity of the Catholic Church and Allied intelligence agencies in the flight of the Nazis, Gonis material still has the power to shock. The paperback edition of The Real Odessa includes a revised introduction and conclusion, with a new afterword containing material that Uki Goni has recently researched and which focuses on Vatican complicity in providing sanctuary for war criminals.

Goi has powerfully exposed the deceits and conniving, and pierced what he calls the wall of silence The Sunday Times
Gois analysis of the arrival of Nazis and collaborators in Argentina is impressive and convincing Times Literary Supplement
This is a fine book; read it and learn a lot more than the hidden history of Argentina Tribune
Uki Goi is in a unique position in Argentina. He is one of the very few who raised their voices during the murderous years of the dirty war. His work is brave and indefatigable. This new book offers a detailed account for the first time of a dreadful chapter in the history of Argentina, whose results are felt to this day. The quality of the research is matched by a moral seriousness. Goi has worked with extraordinary zeal and his conclusions and the facts he has disclosed are deeply shocking and chilling Colm Tibn
An extraordinary piece of investigative reporting also a major breakthrough in historical scholarship Time

Over six years of work have gone into this book, during which time I have been extremely fortunate to receive help and advice from a great many people. I would especially like to thank the academics Ronald Newton of Canada and Holger Meding of Germany; but above all Beatriz Gurevich, compiler of Proyecto Testimonio, the ground-breaking investigation into Argentinas dalliance with the Nazis published by the countrys Delegation of Argentine-Israelite Associations (DAIA) in 1998. From the start, Gurevich pointed me to the primary documentary sources and was kind enough to share a large amount of previously unseen material. I also owe a truly special debt to Christel Converse, who was responsible for the documentary research at the National Archives in Maryland. In Belgium, I must thank Dirk Martin of CEGES (Centre dEtudes et de Documentation Guerre et Socits Contemporaines), where the essential Pierre Daye papers are archived, for his kind assistance, and Jean-Pierre Lesigne for authorization to quote from Dayes letters and memoirs.
Although this book is based primarily on documentary sources, some 200 interviews were conducted during its research. I thank all of those who shared their memories with me. Many also refused to be interviewed, most notably the former head of Perns Information Bureau, Rodolfo Freude. For help in translating documents from the German Id like to thank my father, Ambassador Santos Goi, my dear friend Verena von Schoenfeldt, and especially Claudia Billourou, who kept the line continually open from Germany during the final haul. I also wish to thank the international news editors at the Sunday Times and the Guardian who made space in their pages for articles I wrote based on some of the early findings. I owe an extra special debt to George Russell, of Time magazine, who had faith in this book from the outset and published a cover story based on its Spanish-language predecessor, Pern y los alemanes, even though it meant an uncomfortable visit from Argentinas ambassador to the UN, bearing a letter of protest. My special gratitude as well to Sara Holloway of Granta, who has made the original manuscript readable, and to Lexy Bloom, who prepared the American edition of this book. And of course this book would never have seen the light had it not been for Colm Tibn, who one summer midnight in Dublin pointed me in the direction of Neil Belton and Hanover Yard.
To all: Gracias.
