Klaus Barbie: The Butcher of Lyons

Nikolaus 'Klaus' Barbie was an SS-Hauptsturmführer (rank approximately equivalent to army captain), Gestapo member and war criminal. He was known as the Butcher of Lyon. The story of infamous Nazi Klaus Barbie is both a thriller and a tragedy, especially when reflecting on the victims (Jews and Resistants) that suffered under his jurisdiction (and often by his own hands). This book, written by an established jornalist and producer in this field of history, chronicles the life of Barbie, from his birth in 1913 to his capture and return to France in 1983 to face justice.
