About this title

Synopsis

Blowback is the fullest, most authoritative account ever written of the USA's collaboration with Nazis after WWII, & of the long-range effect this has had on the nation's domestic & foreign policy. Drawing on extensive 1sthand research & a wealth of documents previously classified or never before made public, Christopher Simpson has written a major & often startling work about the extensive connection between high-ranking US officials & ex-Nazis & collaborators, & about the effect this relationship has had on American society & the cold war.

From Publishers Weekly

The postwar recruitment of Nazis and collaborators by agencies of the U.S. government stemmed, the author illustrates, from intense East-West competition after the German surrender, prodded by the prospect of war between the superpowers. Simpson, a freelance journalist, reveals that many covert operations of the early Cold War era involved the use of operatives known to have committed crimes against humanity during the Second World War. The underlying theme here is the corruption of American ideals in connection with this hushed-up recruitment policy in the name of anticommunism. In elaborating the policy's "negative blowback," Simpson emphasizes the long-term corrosive effect on American intelligence agencies in particular.
