He wore a white coat, not a uniform. He carried a clipboard, not a rifle. But his crimes still echo louder than gunfire.
Josef Mengele-the name alone conjures horror. At Auschwitz, he was the doctor who did not heal, but chose who would live or die with a flick of his gloved hand. He mutilated in the name of science. He murdered in the name of progress. And for decades, he vanished into shadow, a phantom the world could not capture.

From his privileged upbringing and early promise as a brilliant scholar, to his transformation into the infamous Angel of Death, this book explores not just what Mengele did-but how a man becomes a monster.
