Richard Breitman

U.S. Intelligence and the Nazis (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is a direct result of the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act. Drawing upon many documents declassified under this law, the authors demonstrate what US intelligence agencies learned about Nazi crimes during World War II and about the nature of Nazi intelligence agencies' role in the Holocaust. It examines how some US corporations found ways to profit from Nazi Germany's expropriation of the property of German Jews. This book also reveals startling new details on the Cold War connections between the US government and Hitler's former officers. At a time when intelligence successes and failures are at the center of public discussion, US Intelligence and the Nazis also provides an unprecedented inside look at how intelligence agencies function during war and peacetime.

Rezensionen

"Thanks to the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act, the CIA, US Army, and FBI were required to declassify documents in their files dealing with Nazi war crimes and criminals during and after WWII. Richard Breitman, Norman J.W. Goda, Timothy Naftali, and Robert Wolfe have analyzed these files. The result is a fascinating series of essays...This volume will be an important addition to every collection dealing with WWII...Highly recommended." -CHOICE, K. Eubank, emeritus, CUNY Queens College
