The Nazis next door
A revelatory secret history of how America became home to thousands of Nazi war criminals after World War II, many of whom were brought here by the OSS and CIA—by the New York Times reporter who broke the story and who has interviewed dozens of agents for the first time.

Bush after the 9/11 attacks. He was a reporter for the Los Angeles Times for 15 years before joining the New York Times in 2002. A graduate of Cornell University, he is the author of Bush’s Law: The Remaking of American Justice, which one reviewer called "All the President’s Men for an Age of Terror."
