Présentation de l'éditeur

Praise for Nazi Gold

"A compelling book on one of the greatest robberies of all time."
--Rabbi Marvin Heir, dean, Simon Wesenthal Center

"Nazi Gold [is] a compelling, outraged, carefully researched book. . . Tom Bower, one of the finest investigative journalists in the English-speaking world over the past generation. . .is the ideal chronicler for this story. Over the past 20 years he has built up a track record second to none in documenting crimes and conspiracies that the Nazis and their collaborators were able to cover up or escape from in the decades after 1945. . .Riveting, outstanding."
--Martin Sieff, Washington Times

"Nazi Gold is an important book that uncovers much new material."
--Saul Friendlunder, author of Nazi Germany and the Jews

"Compelling reading."
--Chicago Jewish Star

"[A] sensational expose. . .Impressively revealing."
--Dade Jewish Star
