Description: "You may not be familiar with the name Felix Kersten, but after reading The Devil's Doctor you will never forget it. Prepare to meet one of the most unlikely and little-known heroes in the fight against Nazi atrocities - a talented and very successful physical therapist who, under threat of harassment, was drawn into the corrupt power center of the Third Reich.".

"Acclaimed historian and former OSS officer John Waller tells a tale of treachery compounded by moral depravity; of the failing loyalty of high-ranking Nazi zealots; and of one man's efforts in the face of grave personal danger to hasten the defeat of Hitler's Reich, thereby saving thousands of Nazi concentration-camp inmates condemned to die."--BOOK JACKET.
