An “Army of Werewolves” and the greatest manhunt in history. . . . After Hitler’s suicide, American intelligence feared that surviving Third Reich leaders were plotting a comeback with hidden weapons, rocket programs, and their Führer's final testament.
May 1945. The Reich is in ruins. Hitler is dead. Yet for the US Army’s Counter Intelligence Corps, the real war has just begun.
They Shall Not See the Dawn is the true historical thriller following a unit of American agents, drawn from every walk of life, hunting Hitler’s dangerous henchmen still at large and feared to be carrying their Führer’s final political testament, orders for a guerilla resistance, and plans for rocket and nuclear programs hidden in mountain strongholds. It was a race against time to capture World War II’s most notorious Nazis before they could vanish or rally a new resistance.
The CIC men were college students, linguists, an actor, young draftees, and refugees armedwith guns, intellect, intuition, and sheer daring. Their quarry included Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the monstrous Gestapo chief; Julius Streicher, Hitler’s notorious “Jew-baiter”; Robert Ley, master of slave labor; and other war criminals desperate to escape justice. Against all odds, the CIC brought them down, ensuring their places in the dock at Nuremberg.
Timed for publication during the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg verdict and hangings, They Shall Not See the Dawn resurrects the heroic exploits of America’s “G-men in khakis,” the men who ensured that the architects of Nazi horror would never walk free.
