The Secret Funding of Hitler's Rise To Power, 1919-1933
The newly revised and updated edition of the highly acclaimed, first-ever work of history to examine Hitler's rise to power from the perspective of money which covers the dramatic and controversial years from World War One to 1933.
In the 1920's, Adolph Hitler seemed like a gilt-edged investment to many of the world's richest people. This book reveals how the Nazi Party got its money, who provided it and why. It also shows a side of the Fuhrer not seen before: a courtly ladies' man who charmed women into donating money and jewels to his cause. It tells a fascinating story of greed, bribery and blackmail among bankers, industrialists, and the aristocracy of at least thirteen countries, among them: Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England; the Grand Duchess Victoria of Russia, and Henry Ford, who kept a photograph of Hitler in his office.
It also gives the real reason why King Edward VIII was forced to abdicate and become the Duke of Windsor, and exposes the motives of the Nazi sympathizers and contributors - ranging from anti-semitism to anti-communism; from a lust for power to a passion for Hitler.
