Five harrowing accounts of modern-day opportunists: violent, war-crazed animals, grasping for blood and money--at the expense of the helpless!

Savage, shocking--and completely factual! They were the most corrupt, infamous jackals-of-war...

BASIL ZAHAROFF
Malevolent, incredibly powerful autocrat of a gigantic munitions cartel, he prevented World War I from ending more than a year before the final armistice.

MARCEL PETIOT
Ostensibly a respectable physician, he ingeniously concealed outrageous sexual depravities while "specializing" in helping refugees flee Occupied France.

WILLIAM JOYCE
Possibly the master turncoat of all time, he was pathologically obsessed with selling out friends, causes, countries, and sacred trusts.

FRITZ HAARMANN
The bizarre secret of his success as Hanover's most prosperous wartime meat-market proprietor triggered mass-hysteria, madness, murder, and suicide.

PERCIVAL TREITE
A brilliant English gynecologist driven by some deeply rooted, sadistic X-factor, he personally butchered over 1,000 women trapped in a Nazi concentration camp.
