From Library Journal:

Barbie's 1982 arrest and internment have triggered a volley of biographical studies. The former Gestapo officer is under indictment in France for his crimes against humanity. De Hoyos, a French journalist, has written a re markably pedestrian, garbled account of Barbie's Nazi career and Bolivian af terlife. The book is poorly written, awkwardly organized, and superficial. Only when the author describes his 1972 face-to-face encounter with Bar bie in La Paz does the account become interesting. Libraries seeking a basic Barbie biography will be better served by Brendan Murphy's The Butcher of Lyons ( LJ 1/84) or Tom Bower's Klaus Barbie: the butcher of Lyons ( LJ 4/15/ 84). Mark R. Yerburgh, Trinity Coll. Lib., Burlington, Vt.
