Called `one of the most useful and illuminating studies of Nazism` by `The New Yorker`, this highly acclaimed work of history unravels the secret financial web which Hitler spun across Europe and around the globe to bankroll his dream of world domination.
James Pool`s powerful exposé, Who Financed Hitler: The Secret Funding of Hitler`s Rise to Power, 1919-1933, was praised by The New Yorker as `one of the most useful and illuminating studies of Nazism` ever published. Now, James Pool discloses the shocking and often bizarre financial strategies and relationships that enabled Hitler to consolidate his power and perpetuate his reign of terror. Hitler and His Secret Partners at last tells the full, fascinating story of an amassed legacy that continues to make headlines with the recent emergence of Nazi accounts in Swiss banks. Included are these startling revelations:
Top German industrialists and financiers funded Hitler`s regime -- and were rewarded with multibillion-dollar returns on their investments.

Hitler`s foreign supporters included King Edward VIII; his companion, Wallis Simpson, who may have been a Nazi collaborator; and Joseph Kennedy, who gave tacit approval to Hitler`s `Jewish policy.`

Many of Germany`s largest companies profited from the Holocaust. There is evidence that the concentration camps themselves were designed as sources of slave labor for German industry.

Adolf Hitler`s private life was one of extravagance -- in which no expense was spared in the indulgence of his every whim, from the architectural to the sexual.
A thoroughly documented account of a controversial subject, Hitler and His Secret Partners is the definitive study of the calculation, exploitation and greed at the heart of the Third Reich.
HITLER AND HIS SECRET PARTNERS reveals that the greatest tragedy of the twentieth century was driven in large part by economics - by the desire to hoard wealth as well as power. Those who reaped the rewards - whether peasant, prince or politician - share equally in the criminal consequences of Nazism. Meticulously researched and thoroughly documented, this remarkable and monumental volume is sure to provoke controversy and have a substantial impact for decades to come.
Here for the first time, is the full story of the financial calculation, exploitation, and greed at the core of the Third Reich, and of an amassed legacy that continues to make headlines with the recent emergence of Nazi accounts in Swiss banks.
Discover the explosive truth about the men and women who provided Hitler with money and moral support - and what they received in return.
