Bernard Cohen and his collaborator Luc Rosenzweig hoped to dig up the true story of the formerly respected United Nations Secretary-General who had been disgraced by revelations of past Nazi activities. Kurt Waldheim was a young man when the Nazis took over his native Austria; his father, an anti-Nazi, had suffered for his political beliefs. The younger Waldheim was evidently, as the authors presented him, an opportunist who was capable of surviving amid evil and then denying it afterwards, and a narrow bureaucrat who felt few higher loyalties than to duty and selfpreservation. Scandal broke around him while he was president of Austria in the 1980s; his attempts to avoid blame were widely seen as unconvincing and self-contradictory.
