1978. The Amazon jungle. He's alive. Five men, their lives all transformed by the Holocaust, venture for six months into the Amazon jungle in a quest to find the man who unleashed Nazism. The Fuhrer, ninety years old but as charismatic as ever, is t theirs. From this pulp fiction premise, Steiner builds a stunning thriller and an intellectual roller-coaster. How has Jewish faith survived the apparent absence of God? Was Hitler uniquely evil, or merely a product of his times? A stunning dissection of religion and the iconic image of Adolf Hitler, this play provoked furious controversy when it was originally staged in the West End in 1982.
