After World War II, thousands of Nazis—from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich—came to the United States and settled into new lives.

Investigative reporter Eric Lichtblau tells how some Nazis even received help and protection from the U.S. government—the CIA, FBI, and the military used them as spies, intelligence assets, and leading scientists and engineers.
