The publisher's blurb reads: ''On February 5, 1981, a Bolivian citizen called Klaus Altmann was escorted into the prison yard of Fort Montlue, in Lyons, France. Former SS Hauptsturmfuhrer Klaus Barbie, known as the 'Butcher of Lyons' for his ruthless treatment of enemies of the Reich -- a man twice condemned to death in absentia by French courts -- had finally returned to Europe to face charges of crimes against humanity. This book is the most shocking and best documented indictment yet of Barbie. The author, a distinguished French journalist, has had exclusive access to previously untapped sources: the personal archives of Simon Wiesenthal, the renowned chronicler of Nazi activities, the records of Nazi hunters Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, and the unpublished accounts from the files of several governments. De Hoyos has also conducted extensive interviews in Europe with survivors and witnesses of Barbie's butchery, and in South America.''
