This is the last dramatic and unwritten chapter in the history of the Holocaust. The part played by the Nazis and other Germans in this horrendous tragedy is well known. Now Tom Bower, one of Britain's distinguished investigative writers, reveals the despicable role played by the Swiss banks and the Swiss Government in exploiting the Second World War and the Holocaust to their financial advantage; a role which included helping the Nazis to hide and sell their loot from occupied Europe and stealing the deposits trustingly made in those banks by Jewish individuals and organisations.
Using a wealth of unpublished and sensational source material and interviews, Tom Bower tells the story of this great scandal from the 1930s until today, all scrupulously documented, lucidly written, and containing characters and events so bizarre and horrifying that they could hardly have been invented by a novelist. In fact the book reads like a thriller, and is supported by leading campaigners such as Senator D'Amato, Chairman of the US Banking Committee and the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.
