Rezensionen

'Alessandro Roselli has unearthed intriguing documents in the Bank of Italy's archive revealing the developing Nazi German plan of the early WWII years for Europe's future economic and financial organization. The new Europe would be run by Germany and Italy. Showing clearly how the elements of the plan had their origins in the turmoil of the interwar years, he has produced a scholarly, fluently-written, and genuinely fascinating account and closes with thoughts on what eventually happened in Europe.'
