Nazi Gold

Description:

Recent news about the 1.25 billion dollar settlement of three major Swiss banks with the victims of the Holocaust has sent shockwaves throughout the world. Now, prizewinning investigative journalist, George Carpozi, Jr., exposes the rest of the story: How billions in looted gold, world famous art, jewels, and other assets made their nefarious way not only to Switzerland, but to Sweden, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, Argentina, England, France, the Vatican, and the United States. Drawing on scores of interviews, previously unrevealed intelligence documents from many countries, the U.S. State Department Report, as well as archives of England, Argentina, France, and Italy, Carpozi makes public startling information about the dealings all these nations had with Nazi Germany and follows the trail of the valuables stolen from victims of the Holocaust.
