The Boys from Brazil brilliantly spins a fiction from one our darkest periods in our history.
By William D. Wood
It’s Brazil, 1974 and this South American country is still a haven for Nazis hiding from justice from their despicable war crimes. A young American journalist has been tracking the suspicious activities of several high-ranking Nazis and arranges to eavesdrop on a secret meeting, a meeting organized by Dr. Josef Mengele the man who ran Auschwitz, the man known as the “Angel of Death”.
Dr. Mengele unleashes a master plan that, in his warped mind, is the hope and destiny of the Aryan race. The young man manages to record part of that meeting and contacts Yakov Liebermann, the famous Nazi hunter, inspired mostly by Simon Wiesenthal. The young man soon disappears leaving Liebermann to find the answer to the question: why must 94 men, all over the world, have to die, all close to sixty-five years old, and on or near certain dates in the next two and a half years?
The reader is left wondering, just like Lieberman, why must 94 mid-level civil servants die? Preferring to work alone, Lieberman begins to ask questions and through his investigations discovers that a number of men have already died… accidently and these men all had sons all with a remarkable likeness.
The concept of mono-nuclear reproduction is introduced, motivating the reader to do their own inquiry and understanding of the science; I know I was. The concept of mono-nuclear reproduction, i.e. “cloning” raises another question. From which donor would Mengele want to scientifically reproduce 94 black haired, blue eyed boys all with the same genetic inheritance? Given the period in our history and the characters involved, the answer becomes fearfully unthinkable, but quite clear. But Mengele also understands that science alone will not work. To maximize the intent of the science and his ultimate goal, domestic and cultural influences must also be duplicated.
When Lieberman’s efforts are being noticed on the international stage, Nazi leadership in Brazil calls back Mengele’s assassins. Mengele, the evil psychopath, decides to strike out on his own to complete his twisted plan. And Lieberman must stop the killings and stop Mengele. They’re both on a collision course.
When this situation reaches its rightful conclusion, the reader is left with a final question: what will happen to the boys?
“The Boys from Brazil” is a fine novel with a despicably ingenuous plot. The book brilliantly spins a fiction from one of the darkest periods in our history. It is clearly written and thought provoking causing the reader to ask: could it have been accomplished, and are the boys now men?
I highly recommend “The Boys from Brazil”.

Classic Thriller
By Jim Lester
This is a terrific novel and should be required reading for all aspiring thriller writers. Levin demonstrates that you don't need a hunky ex-Navy SEAL, graphic scenes of torture or pages of mind numbing forensic detail to tell an exciting story where the fate of the world hangs in the balance. The author's protagonist is 62 year old Yakov Liebermann, who has spent his career tracking down ex-Nazis who escaped at the end of World War II. But by the 1970s (when Levin wrote the novel) world wide interest in finding old Nazis is fading and Liebermann's organization has hit on tough times.
Then he gets a call that is cut short when the caller is murdered. But before he is killed the man alerts Liebermann to a new Nazi conspiracy that threatens the fate of humankind. What follows is a roller coaster of exciting, suspenseful scenes, cutting edge technology and enough plot twists to satisfy any thriller reader. Ira Levin only wrote seven novels in his lifetime, including ROSEMARY'S BABY and THE STEPFORD WIVES, but he is deservedly recognized as one of the real shining stars in the galaxy of American thriller writers and I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a classic work of the genre.

The idea is deliciously evil, all the more so because it is all very possible
By Gene Rhea Tucker
DISCLAIMER - Don't read this if you haven't read the book.
I read this book for the first time when I was in middle school on the mid-1990s, about the time that cloning went from science fiction to science fact. The idea is deliciously evil, all the more so because it is all very possible. Mengele was never brought to justice, there was a group of underground Nazis still active in the 1970s, and cloning could be (and probably will be) used for ill. The writing is average as popular fiction of the 1970s goes (nothing new or particularly poetical), but, like "The Exorcist," the plot is carried forward by the drama. It is so believable and you want the good guys to win. (Do novels have good guys anymore? And if so, do they ever win?) The idea that Mengele and latter-day Nazis have cloned Hitler and are trying to engineer a similar home life (nature and nurture) is ingenious, and scary. Yakov Liebermann is an underdog hero because he's got everything stacked against him. A good book. I heartily recommend it. Then watch the movie with Olivier and Peck. Then hope they don't screw up a remake.
