The Waldheim Files: Myth and Reality

By Michael Palumbo

0 - Default Title
Description
The United Nations War Crimes archive contains a dossier of accusations against Lieutenant Kurt Waldheim. These blackmail documents have been there since 1947, a time bomb of ever-increasing significance. In 1979 Michael Palumbo, discovered the existence of these archives, but was denied access. Seven years later their explosive secret hit the headlines. Now, in 1988, an international committee of historians has delivered its verdict: that Waldheim did not directly commit war crimes but that he certainly knew of atrocities – a fact which he has always denied. In this fascinating study Palumbo takes a dispassionate look at the evidence and shows how it has been manipulated by all parties. “The Waldheim Files” is a meticulously researched account of the realpolitik of the ‘Waldheim Affair’ that offers a dramatic new perspective.
