The Boys from Brazil is an absorbing story

The Boys from Brazil is an absorbing story. This is a rather complicated, yet absorbing story – you have to read almost halfway to get the essence of the mystery.
Yakov Liebermann’s mission in life was to hunt for Nazis, especially those who had participated in the cruel slayings of Jews during the world war. Dr Joseph Mengele (Angel of Death) had a major project.
Most of the details of the project were not revealed to his team, who were only told that they were working for the fatherland, in hopes to rebuild the Nazi greatness. Initially the plan was to kill a total of 94 men - unremarkable men in their 60s, unimportant careers, mundane lives.
This plan was secretly taped by an amateur Nazi hunter; he managed to pass the news to Lieberman.

Lieberman was zealous in his investigations - questioning, probing, analyzing. He soon found out about the sons of the dead men - teenage boys who looked so similar that they might have been the offspring of the same man.

The story is simply amazing. A total of 94 clones were made in hopes of building a small group of Hitlers. Mengele was astute enough to look into the probabilities of success and failure.
This story was written at a time when cloning seemed a figment of the active mind. Ira Levin’s stories are really thought-provoking. It takes some time (and patience) to follow through though. However once you pass the preliminaries, it is simply spell-binding.
The suspense started building, and from there, it is difficult to put the book down. A truly eerie story; it is beyond rational thinking how far the Nazis would go to realize their dream about the perfect race.
