description: Based on exclusive, unrestricted access to over 5000 pages of personal writings &amp; family photos, this definitive biography of German physician &amp; SS-Hauptsturmfubrer Josef Mengele (1911-79?) probes the personality &amp; motivations of Auschwitz's "Angel of Death." From 5/43 thru 1/45, Mengele selected who would be gassed immediately, who would be worked to death, &amp; who would serve as involuntary guinea pigs for his spurious &amp; ghastly human experiments (twins being his particular obsession). With authority &amp; insight Posner &amp; Ware examine the entire life of the world's most infamous doctor.
