They Shall Not See The Dawn by Charles Lachman

MAY 1945. THE REICH IS IN RUINS. Hitler is dead. Yet for the US Army’s Counter Intelligence Corps, the real war has just begun.

They Shall Not See the Dawn is the true historical thriller by bestselling historian Charles Lachman that follows a unit of American agents, drawn from every walk of life, hunting Hitler’s dangerous henchmen still at large. It was a race against time to capture World War II’s most notorious Nazis before they could vanish or rally a new resistance. The CIC men were college students, linguists, an actor, young draftees, and refugees armed with guns, intellect, intuition, and sheer daring. Their quarry included Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the Gestapo chief; Julius Streicher, Hitler’s “Jewbaiter”; Robert Ley, master of slave labor; and other war criminals desperate to escape justice. Against all odds, the CIC brought them down, ensuring their places in the dock at Nuremberg.

Upon the eightieth anniversary of the Nuremberg hangings, They Shall Not See the Dawn resurrects America’s “G-men in khakis,” the men who ensured that the architects of Nazi horror would never walk free.
