If you have an interest in WWII history, this is certainly worth reading. Only a fraction of the men and women who were responsible for the murder of millions of innocent people were ever tracked down.
It is actually quite satisfying to the reader when Rudolf is captured. He is one of the few who admits his guilt and so makes it difficult for others to deny involvement. Although they do! Amazing how many guards at the concentration camps were simply 'minding the tea urn'.
