The Ratline is an investigation into Otto von Wächter, a senior Austrian Nazi indicted for mass murder, who escaped justice after the war. Philippe Sands uncovers remarkable new evidence around the course of events leading up to Otto von Wächter's unexpected death in 1949 in Rome and embarks on a journey that goes right to the heart of "the ratlines", the post-war Nazi escape route out of Europe. From the award-winning author of "East West Street".
