An exposé of a secret American operation during WWII to seize 4,000 Germans from Latin America and intern them in camps in the Texas desert. Rather than Nazi spies and saboteurs, they included a broad range of German immigrants, even Jewish refugees, most of whom posed no danger to national security. Research in seven countries reveals the diplomatic intrigues and human impact of a misguided policy that offers important lessons about US relations with Latin America, the failure to rescue victims of the Holocaust, and the wartime treatment of civilians.

The book is a collection of research level surveys on certain topics in probability theory, which will be of interest to graduate students and researchers.
