About This Item
New York: Doubleday; Random House, 1999. 325 pages, illustrations; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First Edition: November 1999. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. "It was the largest organized robbery in history--the detailed, systematic looting of Europe's Jews by the Nazis and most of the nations of Europe: Axis, Allied, and neutral. Now, for the first time, prizewinning journalist Richard Z. Chesnoff details the full scope of this monumental theft of money, gold, jewels, art, and property that began in Germany with the rise of Adolf Hitler, continued through the Holocaust and the Third Reich's occupation of Europe, and culminated in a postwar cloaking campaign that stretched from Scandinavia to the Balkans to Iberia. Chesnoff, who was among the first reporters to break the story that Swiss banks were still hoarding the assets of Holocaust victims, traveled to fourteen countries to research this heartbreaking, compelling story of human greed. With direct access to hitherto classified files and through exclusive interviews with bankers, government and Jewish officials, camp survivors, and the families of victims, Chesnoff tells a tragic tale that will make the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers. Revealing new details that many governments and bankers would prefer to remain secret, he describes the detective work used to trace Holocaust assets that continue to be hidden inside the systems of Allied nations such as France and the Netherlands. With the deftness that comes with a journalist's deep understanding of events, Chesnoff explains why it has taken more than fifty years for the world to even begin to come to terms with the massive pillage and plunder. / Richard Z. Chesnoff is a senior correspondent for U.S. News & World Report and op-ed columnist for the New York Daily News. Winner of both the Overseas Press Club and National Press Club awards, he has covered many of the major events and personalities of our times for more than thirty years. He lives in New York and France." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
