The first three chapters offer some background, from the Displaced
Persons Act of 1948 through the 30 years of INS inaction, on to the Moscow
Agreement of 1980 that gave OSI access to documents and witnesses. Other
chapters treat case histories. OSI director Ryan's major success story is
John Demjanjuk, who was finally deported in 1986. (As this is being written
in late 1992, this case has been reopened. Former OSI prosecutor George
Parker has testified that his superiors weren't interested in evidence of
possible mistaken identity, and he subsequently quit the agency in disgust.)
There is also a chapter on Klaus Barbie. The dust jacket describes Ryan's
report on Barbie's connections to U.S. intelligence as one "which received
international acclaim for its thoroughness and honesty." (Actually, most
historians feel that Ryan's 200-page 1983 report was a whitewash -- see,
for example, "Blowback" by Christopher Simpson.) Still, Ryan's book is
valuable as a primary source for the record.
